Mary was a wonderfully joyful person and I loved being around her; she & I worked on missions events together; her ideas were inspired & her love for the Lord showed in all she did. It was my privilege to work alongside her for those endeavors. Heaven is richer, earth poorer now.

Dear Clifford,
You are in our prayers. You and Mary shared a love and partnership that inspired so many of us. Do you remember attending our wedding 28 years ago? I can still see Mary doing the Hokey Pokey. We are truly sorry for the loss of the true love of your life.

Clifford,
There are so many amazing things that I can say about Mary. I was one of her students back in the 1970's. I was reunited with her when I started attending RFMC a few years ago. Amazingly she knew who I was. Mary's amazing talent of teaching did bring me closer to the Lord and I thank her for that. I was at the service this morning and I have to say, that was just an AMAZING and INSPIRATIONAL service. You have been very blessed to have Mary as your wife. May she be ever so happy at home with the Lord, as she was so happy doing his will while she was with us. May God smile on you today and always.

I remember teaching down the hall in Brooklyn School (Wellsville,NY) with Mary many years ago. She was a fine Christian lady always. Love, Virginia Vossler

Mary was great freind to my family, she helped me with going to school if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be the man I am today. Thank you Mary for everything you have done for me, I'm sorry I couldn't be home to say goodbye. I know you are watching over me now protecting me.

My condolences to the Collins family. I had a lot of great teachers at Lew-Port, and Mrs. Collins was one of my favorites. It has been about 25 years since the 5th grade, but I remember her very well. The phrase that keeps popping into my head when I think of Mrs. Collins is "firm, but fair." She had a unique ability to keep us engaged and excited about learning and to know when to let up a little and let the kids have some fun. Her kindness will not be forgotten by those of us fortunate enough to have Mrs. Collins as a teacher.

My Prayers are with Mary's entire family at this time. We knew each other from the Lockport Christian Woman's Club. I feel blessed to have known and worked with Mary when I was in Lockport and active with that wonderful group of women. God Bless...and Thank you for touching so many lives while you walked this earth.

I had the pleasure and good fortune of having Mrs. collins as a teacher at lew-port and also when she was a CYC teacher she was a wonderful person and teacher and I was blessed to have known her and be taught by her in my younger years.
