Jim and I and Erica also want to let you know that we will never forget all the memories we have had in the past 15 years. singing in the choral society, chats when we shared as you shopped at Wal-Mart Market America but most of all that we could always have a thought and experience that made our life here in AR. Your family was the first family we met when we moved here from Wisconsin and will continue. Patrick and all the family welcomed to MH and we appreciate that bond. It feels like we lost a family member and hope that will continue. Mary we will meet you at the Golden Gate of Eternity.

So sorry for your loss. I went to school with Mary- she was a great person- always there to talk or pray for others. She will be missed, but it is temporary. If you know our Savior, Jesus Christ, you will see her again. She is in a better place!

Mary,
You were an angel to me from day one. Thank you for being such an amazing, loving, guiding friend to me and my children, and for always saving me a seat at Mass. I will love you through all of time, both here and in Heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Mary was truly a class act and I am fortunate to have known her. I will miss Mary's loving kindness and her sweet smile. She fought so long and so hard that I guess I took it for granted that she would be with us for much longer. We have lost a very special lady and she will be missed. Please know that all of you are in my prayers and that I grieve along with you. Although God now has a new angel up there with him in Heaven, we have lost an angel here and the world is a smaller place because of that.

Dearest Mary we are all so lonely here without you. I long to go to heaven so we can be together once more. Thank you for fighting the good fight to the end, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith. Thank you for the treasure of graces you obtained thru suffering like Christ for so long. What a beautiful Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Cousin, Niece and Friend you have been. Thank you for your endless gifts you shared, especially your laughter, and for being a prayer warrior to all. You have a voice like an angel, a heart of gold, and I know you will be with us always. May your beautiful children feel your presence always, may your beautiful memories comfort them and remain with them always, and may all of heaven comfort them and give them peace. Onward and upward until we are all safe with you together in our real home, Heaven.
