Hey Mary! New Washington football owners! I´m sure you heard in Heaven. Now we just need wins. And maybe a quarterback? Go Washington Football! I still think Washington Pandas would be a better name.

She was the consummate wife and mother, the glue that made the family work. I am saddened at her passing but I can hear her saying that she needed to be with Karl on St. Patrick's Day. I can see the smile on her face and the mischieious twinkle in her eyes. That is how I will always remember her. May your hearts soon be filled with your wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I will always remember my visits and moments with Mary. She was so kind and her sweet smile always made my day. It was an honor to lift her in prayer. The members of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd and I are so grateful for her ultimate healing as she stands in all eternity before her Lenten and Easter Lord!
