Mary, Don and Sue were the first people we met when my mother and I moved next door. They were not only great neighbors and friends but they became family. When my mom passed away back in 1986, They became my parents. Especially Mary, she always kept a special eye on me and provided Love and support. Looking back, being with the Otts were some of the best times of my life. Love to you all.

I have many happy memories of Mary. Most afternoons when I picked up Tara, Mary was riding her stationary bike while watching tv. She always had a smile and truly cared about Tara who she fondly called her "little doll." While we moved away from the area, Mary always sent cards and presents to Tara at birthdays and holidays. She, Don and Sue became extended family for us. We grew apart with time and distance but my heart will always be grateful for this family who showed love to my daughter. My condolences to Sue and the rest of Mary's family.

It was a pleasure knowing Mary for the last several years..she always had a smile and a great sense of humor. She is deeply missed.

I'm sending love & prayers to you Sue & Mary's family. Many memories of Mary growing up at Cathy NORMAN Osmuns house who was the Otts neighbor. Mary & Don were wonderful Belvidere people. Sue will always be in my heart thank you Mary for the time & love raising your family. I can not be there but my thoughts will be

I have many memories of Mary and her love for her family and I would often talk her daughter Sue into sharing her mom’s awesome soup. Her grandsons were her joy and her smile would just glow when she mentioned their names. She gave her family everlasting love that will remain with them always. Laura Novack
