    We have such fond memories of Aunt Mary and she was so happy at her 90th Birthday Party. Her smile & noodles will always be remembered.

    I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my longtime friend – since Charlie Collins was my brother-in-law, I always considered Mary a part of my extended family. She was a kind lady who will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Mary (Goldsberry) Cox Taylorsville, Ky.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann, Janet, Ed, Bill and Steve and other family during this time of sorrow on the passing of their mother. I knew Mary since I was little (Steve and I grew up and went to school together). She was always very talkative when I saw her in Frankfort over the last few years. A gracious lady who will be missed.

    Ed and Family,
    Was so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. She and my Mom were good roommates at Clinton House a couple of years ago. They both had relatives from the Lipp family, so they had lots to talk about. My Mom passed on July 10th. She was to go home on the 12th. As we discussed, we were very fortunate to have them as long as we did. I will miss them both.

    To the Family of Mary…
    I have an Aunt (Sarah McAhren) in the Clinton House facility, and therefore became somewhat acquainted with your Mother and Grandmother. She was a “sweetheart” – always pleasant, had a contagious smile – and loved to play Bingo, and took it serious as most of them do!! She talked about “winning” stuffed animals and giving to family members in and out of state. I’m sure she will be missed, now she is in God’s hands and in peace. May God Bless your family in this time. Martha Goings, Noblesville, IN
