To Mary Jane's family --- May peace and comfort be yours for all the Grace you shared with the South Haven community. I did not know Mary Jane personally, but I have such good feelings toward the Cousins' family. Joe Canonie was my Uncle. For years he lived with the love of his life, Peggy. They grew to be a ripe old age and would eat almost daily at your family restaurant. When Joe and Peggy did not show up, someone from your establishment would call them to make sure they were ok. And if they were sick, someone would deliver them a meal. I will never forget that kindness. God bless you.

The Plachta Family expresses their sympathy with prayers in memory of Mary and her family. We always enjoyed having breakfast after Sunday Mass at Cousins. Mary's personality was always so warm and welcoming, you always wanted to come back and enjoy seeing her smile and all the waitresses working at Cousins. Mary will be greatly missed.

Hal, Shawna, James and family, I remember when my mom worked as a cook back in the day (Rose Dulik). I would come in after her shift as I waddled in as I was pregnant with twins. When I gave birth I would bring them in their car carriers to the restaurant and Mary would say "oh look its the munchkins"! As the years went by we would still go in and have breakfast or lunch or dinner depending on the mood. And each time Mary was always there with her warm smile and wonderful conversation. She had such a beautiful smile and wonderful soul. She was one in a million. Sending my condolences to you all. May God wrap is loving arms around each of you during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Georgia Dulik-Lyons and the entire Dulik Family

I saw this news on Facebook, and am very surprised and sad. My family moved to South Haven four years ago. The first morning we moved in, we were not up and running yet with groceries and the kitchen. We went down the street to Cousin's. Mary heard of our news and we made the connection about moving from Chicago suburbs. She then comp'ed our entire meal! For our family of 5! And simply said, "Welcome to South Haven." My best memory of moving here and frist interactions with the people of this town. Mary made our first day memorable and so very special. Rest in peace, dear Mary.

We always enjoyed coming into Cousins’ especially when our girls were little. Mary would often pick up one of the girls if they were cranky and walk around with them so we could eat. She always had a kind word for us every time we came in. Our thoughts are with all of you.
