Mary Casanova Ortiz

Rest easy beloved sister (in-law). I grew up with you, not as a child, but as a mom, a parent. I was a kid when I got married but very fortunate to have always lived “within walking distance” from you and Chanate. You were my rock, my counsel, and my favorite person to hit the segundas with. We consoled each other through sad times, and we shared heartaches no parent should experience. But we had great laughs too. Mostly about the kids and shit they would get into. We could have put together a baseball team and had backups! I am so glad that I got to spend time with you recently and also that my kids got to come back and visit you after being gone for so long. You were their favorite Tia Mary. Rest In Peace until we meet again
