Dear Jim I so sorry to hear about your moms passing. Wayne passed the information to me today. Our prayers are with you at this trying time. Tim Gavin
I’m sorry for your loss. Cherish the many memories that touch your hearts and may God’s comfort fill you with peace. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
Mary was still a teenager when I was born to Theresa, one of her older sisters. So, I remember Mary as young and lovely with a Mancini sense of humor. I’m going to have a tree planted in her memory–to live on for a very long time. I love the work of American Forests and appreciate your allowing that option. I will be with you at the service in spirit and may even plant a tree myself during that time.
The tree was from the Vogel family: Mary & Bill and Patty &Joe Davis.
A memorial tree was planted in memory of the decedent.
I shared a memory earlier. Now, I’d like to ask for contact information for James W and James E and Vilma and Valentina. If someone could text me at 503-512-3364, it would be much appreciated.
Hi I am Valentina goodger Mary’s granddaughter and you might have heard of me before because my grandma. If I could describe my grandma in one word it would be thankful, the reason I picked thankful is because when I gave my grandma something she would keep that forever like when I gave her a doll she would put it right next to her and never let go. When I had no one to play with I went to my grandma and I always had a blast. But on the day when she had a heart attack I was right in front of her and at that moment I know something was up I tired to help her but she did not want anyone to touch her or even come near her she then I went to my dad and he was sleeping at the time because he had worked for United airlines but on that day he had to work late I was banding on the door as hard as I could and I told my dad to call 911 and by the way I was 5 years old. But on that day my grandma died and I did not get the chance to say goodbye but she told my mom to tell me that she will come back eventually.
Xoxo Valentina goodger
