During their association with First Baptist Church in Dayton, we were gifted by Roland's pastoral work and Mary's charming personality. They will always hold a special place in our hearts. At one of our last visits together at their home, we shared a chocolate cake that we agreed was as sinful as it was good!!

She was one of my best friends. When I was set up to go to accounting dept she changed it to Human Resources.

I worked in the Human Resource Center at Sears Dayton Mall. One day she mentioned "Doc Miller." I told her that´s what they call my Uncle! Yep, Mary Lee lived across the street from him. First, Mary Lee thank you for taking care and watching out for him in his older years. Second, I consider you a true Christian. Third, rest in peace. Fran (Miller) Schlegel.
