We are very sorry for your loss of Mary. She usually had a smile on her face and made one feel welcome when we were in her company. The twinkle in her eyes made me think she probably had a fun nature about her. I'm sure many memories of her will keep her always close to you.

Deepest condolences to my Iowa family.
Mary was a very special woman, that will be missed. I loved staying at her house when I came back to Iowa with mom and dad, and making coffee for her in the morning before she woke up.
May the Lord grant you peace.

Your mom loved coming to Green Acres and staying at your family cabin. She was the sparkle" in Farkle when we played hot dice!

Dear Suzie and family,
I never had the pleasure of meeting your Mom, but I know she was a special lady. Your devotion to her, her generous support of our Loopy Ladies mission and the stories you shared about her made me feel I knew her!! Sending hugs!! Jean O.
