Friends like the Deverells don't come around in life very often. Your loss is our loss too. Your sorrow is our sorrow. My earliest recollections have Mary and Don Deverell in them - the play room and bowling at Olympic Bowl, the endless summers of camping, birthday celebrations, showers and weddings, and births of new family members. Campfires, holding down tents in gale force winds and rain, and fixing exhaust pipes with orange juice cans. We are fortunate to have the many, many happy memories of Mary and to have been blessed with such good friends to share life with. Celebrating a long life well lived.

Our sincere sympathies as we share your grief.

Joe and Barbara (Schwind) McGuire

I can"t begin to tell you how much your mom Mary meant to me. I enjoyed taking care of her at St. Johns. Her laughter, her sense of humor and her kind words will be greatly missed. She is now at peace and watching over all of you.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you, during this time. I know that Mary wass proud of each and everyone of you. With deepest sympathy,
