Mary Bueno

from her obituary:

Gerry was truly an angel here on earth. To know her was to love her. To be loved by her was an honor. To spend time with her was a gift. Her sense of humor and fun loving spirit gave her family and friends many hours filled with joy. She was a selfless, hard working woman who set a perfect example for her family. She gave tirelessly to her children and grand-children. Having grandchildren and great-grandchildren gave her tremendous happiness. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother who always had kind and positive words of encouragement for her family. Seeing her family content was all she ever wanted.
