For those who wish, viewing will be held one hour prior to Mary's service. Our family would like to thank Catherine Cameron and the excellent Home Care Staff who made Mom's wish to stay in her home for as long as she could a reality. Thank you to her dear friend, Olga Lange for being there for Mom, especially during this last year; and Marva for her many rides to appointments and visits with Mom. We will miss you, Mom, but know that you are in a gentler place now. WOJCIK'S ALL BELIEFS FAITHS FUNERAL CHAPEL CREMATORIUM 897 - 4665
