Dear "Cousins":I am truly sorry to hear about Aunt Mary's passing. The years of happiness and fun that our family spent with yours will always be with me. Now, she is with Uncle Bob.. together again. I don't think I have ever met a more caring person with a bigger heart than Aunt Mary. Her humor, intelligence and thoughtfulness has been passed on to all of you. What a great family you have. Be there for each other and remember to laugh while remembering all the great times you had together with your Mom.Love, Jill Hart

Dear Fulmers:I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and with your families.I am sorry I can't be there, but as you know, I live in California.I find comfort in the many memories of our two families and the great times we all had. I was going through some pictures and came across a Christmas morning at the Davidson house on 28th, when the entire Fulmer clan came by after church. Or those great picnics - What fun we all had together!In my memory, Aunt Mary will always be a calm and kind woman with tremendous faith and strength.Love,Jackie Davidson
