To Bill and his family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Mary from high school. I considered her a friend. We reconnected about a year ago on Facebook. I remember Mary as a fun-loving, kind person. I will remember Mary in my prayers, and offer Mass up for her on Sunday.

To you Bill and all your family, We are in in tears and in disbelief that Mary has left for her final journey so unexpectedly. We prayed and prayed that Mary be spared and regain her health from this destructive virus but the Lord felt it was Mary’s time to enter the pearly gates of Heaven now. No words of condolences can come close to express the pain and loss of a loved one therefore I can only pray that the Lord to be by your side and comfort you as you grieve her passing. Mary leaves a special legacy as she was a beautiful, loving caring wife, mother, friend and grandmother to be admired with tons of memories. God bless you and your family.
love

Galen and I are neighbors two houses beyond Mary. I noticed the ambulance several days back and began praying for the need. We are so sorry to read this information. We too, are grandparents of 10 (not local) and feel your pain and loss. We are neighbors of faith in the sacrifice of Jesus blood for our sins and peace with the promise of heaven. It was so comforting to read of Mary being a woman of faith. We know that this faith is what carries us through these hours. Prayers for Bill and each of you as family. Bill always has a waving hand and a good neighboring heart. God’s comfort and peace. Galen and Elsie Wiley
