I was sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I had planned on attending the services but as you may or may not know, my nephew was killed in a MVA on Wednesday so the family is trying to cope with that. Please know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers, especially Guy.

Dear Shirley and Family,
I was sorry to read of Mary's death. I only met you a few weeks ago at Good Samaritan Nursing Home when I was visiting Helen Hartle, your mother room mate. I must tell you I was very impressed with your family and the number of visitors your mother had. That tells volumes about a family!
I am sorry I was not able to join you at her wake nor the service, but you are in my thoughts and prayers and I put your name in our parish prayerbook.

Mary was such an important part of our church in Clarksville. She not only was a persistent presence and a tireless worker, she modelled the best of what it means to be Christ's servant.
With rich memories,
