I will always cherish the memories I have at the house on Arlington Blvd. She was incredible mom that always made you feel loved and welcomed. I will always regret I never got by to her again just to thank her for always being there. I would talk to her often about my own relationship with mother, and no matter what she always made me feel better. Mary you were an incredible one of a kind human being. May you rest in peace. I love you.
Mary,
You came in my life when I was 4. I had no idea what a family was but you opened your home to us, allowed us to be rambunctious, original, expressive kids when we were there. Laughed at our antics and got us when we deserved it. I will always remember the love you gave, lessons you taught, and acceptance. You will be missed. And forever loved.
I may have not gotten to meet you but I can tell your one amazing woman. Dakota tells me about you all the time. You were such a pretty lady! I wish I had the chance to meet you, Im sure we would’ve gotten along great according to Dakota. Everything Ive ever heard about you, was simply amazing❤️
Mary Louise was a wonderful loving mother, daughter, grandma, aunt etc. to her family. Years ago she made me and my kids feel like a part of the family. I will never forget her. She was always smiling and laughing, just an all around awesome person to be around! You are missed Mary Louise, very dearly. Rest In Peace you wonderful sweet classy Lady! <3
“My deepest Sympathy go to the Smothers family, may your memories of your loss loved one comfort you and your family today and always, please take comfort in God’s word at 2 Corinthians 1:3 “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort”. jw.org
My Aunt was such a loving wonderful lady. Sorry to say I did not get to spend more time with her or my uncle Jim. They raised a couple of really awesome daughters.
