Mary was my friend in laughter, music, church, dog-walking, and eating sweets! I will forever be grateful for her friendship, talent, determination, hilarity and interesting life stories. I miss her, but I know she now walks "as a child of the Light" and has rejoined her beloved parents and grandmother, Buddy.

We will miss Mary. We met her only two years ago in the church and she inspired me to become a Sunday School teacher. She was a wonderful person! Our deepest sympathy to the family! In love

Seven years ago we met Mary at a bridge class at Plymouth Place. We were so fortunate that she sat with us. Seven years insued with lots of fun for all of us. I will miss her terribly. Our sympathy to the family. Lovingly, Virginia Wendt

Carolyn - I'm so sorry for your loss. I always admired the relationship you had with your mom. She was amazing. I can picture you opening up one of her care packages. And she couldn't have asked for a more amazing daughter. You, Mike, Steve and the whole family are in my prayers and thoughts. I wish I could hug you and cry with you. I love you my friend.

I didn't know Mary, but I am very sorry to hear of her death. I know her daughter Carolyn, and based on that friendship, I know that Mary must have been a wonderful and giving person. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary's family and friends as they deal with their loss.

Mary Helen was clearly amazing...a wonderful mother and gifted educator. Her loss is a terrible blow to her family and friends. Please accept our deepest sympathies at the loss of your mother.
