"Mary is the most selfless, angelic person I have ever met. Her time here on Earth was cut considerably short. She was always game for any ideas. A very special mom, wife, sibling and friend that loved to laugh and had an infectious smile. Mary will be very missed as my parenting partner helping Derek and Austin go thru these big moments of Confirmation, turning 18, grad pics, more baja car adventures, senior year and college/life choices. Even our humorous texting conversation just a few weeks ago regarding what the boys should wear to Confirmation. I am tempted to order them and force the boys to wear them in honor of Mary! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob, Dylan and Derek, We are always here with you! "
"Comfort and prayers from Bill, Heidi, Austin, Kaden and Rylan"
"Deepest sympathy to all of Marys family, prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead!"
