Dear Fred,

Alan and are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mary (Sister). I have such fond memories of all the Ridges. My mom and dad, Mary and Joe Conroy loved you both so much, as did all the Conroys. Please know that you and your children and grandchildren are in our thoughts and prayers. Mary was a beautiful person.

Love,
Martha Conroy Powell

Dear Fred, Ricky, Amy, Karen, Meg,
When I married Marty, no one welcomed me into the family more than Freddie and Mary.
"Sis" was truly a princess of the family: warm, loving, giving, and always smiling, always interested in others, always DOING for others. Then there are her wonderful kids who all had the same smile, love of life, and caring for others.
I can't imagine the hole in your life Freddie; and I can't imagine the emptiness you must feel--Ricky, Karen, Meg, and Amy, as your mom did nothing but talk about you all the time and was so proud of you and your kids. Your "mama" will be missed!
There truly aren't many people like Mary in this world and Marty and I feel so deeply for your loss. Hugs and hugs to you!!
Love,

James Davey

My deepest sympathy to Fred Sr. and his daughters and their families and Fred Jr., my son in law, and his family; Sheree, David and Eric. I know it is a tremendous loss to all of the Beissner family.

I only wish I knew Mary better.

Dear Fred, Ricky, Karen, Meg and Amy,

Mary was a wonderful mother and wife - I have so many memories of her when Amy and I were in high school and college - Mary was very talented and thanks to her Amy had the most beautiful prom gown not to mention her prize winning Dino Halloween costume. Mary was such a special person who will be greatly missed by anyone who knew her.

I was so sad to hear about Mary's passing. I will always remember our crazy Pokeno nights and Mary, either humming or singing to every phrase that was said. My deepest sympathy to Fred, the girls and Rick. I will always remember the fun times. Love, Phyllis Marra

Fred, Ricky, Karen, Meg, Amy:

I was so sorry to hear about Mary. Over the past few days I've thought frequently about her smile and her great laugh (which all the Beissner girls have!). She was a wonderful woman, and I'm so glad that I had her in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
