Gene and Mary wedding
My
sister Mary passed on today, Thursday 16 May 2013, a merciful end to a
bitter long battle against breast cancer. She leaves behind her
husband, a daughter and two sons, and many grandchildren, as well as her
mother, five sisters. and two brothers,
Mary
was truly a benevolent, loving person through and through. She was an
influence for good with everyone she ever had dealings with. She had a
lifelong career as a mother in addition to her work in the public
schools, as a speech pathologist and audiologist, helping and serving
children in need.
Her passing is mourned, by loved ones and friends, and she will be sorely missed.
I am using this blog page to gather photos of Mary and her family, as a memorial to the exemplary life she lived.
Note: photos collected from all over...
Mary was never a very eager subject for photography.
There are not as many photos of her as I would wish for.
But there are a few great photos of her and her family!

Mary was always ready with a brilliant smile. Even way back in 1955.

Utah Places: Hovenweep
Hovenweep is a fascinating site for those with an interest in ancient ruins.
The site contains numerous towers and dwellings supposedly constructed by Anasazi indians who lived in this area ages ago. The Anasazi civilization mysteriously disappeared at some point in the distant past. By about 1300 AD, Hovenweep was deserted.

The slots and doors of Hovenweep Castle, in Square Tower Group, have been shown to define an apparent solar calendar. The building is aligned so that light is channeled through openings into the building at sunset of the summer solstice, the winter solstice and the spring and fall equinox. The light falls in a predictable pattern on interior door lintels.
