We had the oppurtunity to have Mary visit us in Colorado a couple of times. During those visits our Grand Children met Aunt Mary and have many fond memories of her, as do we. She will be missed by us all.
Jeff and Adam, So sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you Now and Always… Jim and Kathey Bunner
Mary was my aunt and a wonderful woman.
OUR FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUR CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS TO YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME. THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE IS NEVER AN EASY TIME. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
Dear Jeff, Christy, Mitch, & family, So sad to hear of your mother’s passing. Mary was such a great lady and a lovely neighbor. I have wonderful childhood memories of your parents taking the neighborhood children down to the old farm to pick blackberries. May you, too, have beautiful memories to cherish. Sincerely, The Ariemiea Family.
Wenger Family, Deepest sympathy You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. God Bless, Minnie Bogdan and Paulette Galiotos
Aunt Mary was one of the kindest, thoughtful and caring people I have ever met. She was always my favorite aunt and she would do anything for her children. She was always there for my mother and our family and she always had a smile on her face. Just always remember that smile and she will always be with you.
We read of your loss in the local newspaper. We wanted to offer hope and encouragement, which we ourselves have found helpful in the death of close family members. Please be comforted to know that others are praying for you to have the strength to cope with your trial. May you find hope in the promised resurrection, “Your dead ones will live. … They will rise up.” (Isaiah 26:19) Jesus Christ himself said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”-John 5:28, 29. Confidence in the resurrection will help to ease your sorrow. As the Bible says, you will “not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13) Rather, you will draw close to God in prayer, and the Bible promises “he himself will sustain you.”-Psalm 55:22. Please look up these scriptures in your copy of the Bible. Sincerely, The Davis Family
