I am very sorry for your loss. I am the secretary at Trinity Lutheran Church. I haven’t seen Mary in several years, but will remember her fondly. She was always very kind to me.
Dear Marilyn & all: So very sorry to read of your loss. I am swamped planning my son’s graduation party or I would be there at this sad time. Stathy lost his mom in April so we know the heartsick feeling that it brings. Hope that you are able to find some comfort in the many wonderful memories that blessed her life.
