Tributes
"To the Hempen family, I am so sorry for the loss of Mary Ann. It just does not seem possible. She was a brilliant and caring person. I don't know if I will be able to attend the funeral or visitation because of my recent carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand, I would need a driver to get there. My husband is covering for our sons on the farm while they take their families on trips. My thoughts are with you. In Christ's perfect love. Nancy Coleman (Dienst)"
