To the Slatton Family, Jeanne and I are saddened by the passing of Mary who we’ve only known for such a short while. Our prayers are with her and her family members
We are so sorry about your loss. You are in our thoughts an prayers. We love and miss you.
I know Mary will be missed by family and friends. She was a lovely person. The family has my sympathy.
My darling, Mary, my love for you will never die. We had nearly 59 years of loving and fun filled years together.
I will never forget the first time that I saw you, a full house skating rink and you were the only one I saw! I fell in love
with you that night and our love has only grown deeper and deeper over the years. I, your loving family and many freinds
will miss you dearly.
Jesus has you with him now in his loving hands.
God saw you were getting tired
And care was not to be.
So he wrapped his arms around you;
And whispered “Come with me”.
A golden heart stopped beating
Your loving hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us;
He only takes the best.
Always and forever,
Your loving Husband, Joe

KWVA meetings I always enjoyed her company,
She was always a lady with a smile & good
conversation. she and, family are in my
prayers. Flo G.
