Aunt Mary, 

I will never forget all the prayers and well wishes you and Uncle Leon said for me during my deployments overseas. I never went a day without knowing that you supported me and were always thinking of me. I will cherish all of our memories around the world - meeting up in Beijing, welcoming me home in Hawaii, spending time in Colorado Springs during the Holidays, and so many more great memories. 

I will always cherish the stories you and Aunt Barbara would tell us kids about Dad when you were growing up. You and Uncle Leon were always there for me and supporting me throughout my life. I am so thankful for all of the time we were able to spend together and will always make sure your memory is honored through all the joy you have brought to this world. 

My heart is heavy as we say goodbye to such a wonderful Aunt, Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Wife and most of all, friend. 

Aunt Mary, I love you and will pray for you always!

Your nephew, 

Patrick Hyde
