I'm sorry for all of us for the loss of our beloved (Aunt) Mary. I know she is in a better place & had a great group of loved ones who greeted her upon arrival. I'm comforted knowing we all have another Angel watching over us. I was able to visit Aunt Mary last Feb. and she looked great! Hair fixed, nails painted, makeup on, dressed nicely and jewelry on! Thank you Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Augustines Home for keeping her looking lovely as she did every day of her life. Marianne, Linda & Jay my continued prayers are with you. I Love you.

Linda......I have so many memories over the years from SJA kickball, riding in the back of the Ranchero, to working with your mom at the Senate. I can still see Paco's smiling face coming home with bags of White Castles as we all sat around the table and couldn't wait to dive in. Or, how many cans of mushrooms did we eat? We were the ones in charge when your parents went out for the evening when in reality Marianne was the only one with any sense. Oh, what went on on Broadway. Babysitting Jay, Gar and Johnny was a life lesson. They just never listened to us. Did we show them the way or was it vice versa? I felt like Mrs. F at times hosing down the vomit in the yard. Somehow everything was back in order when Mary Louise and Paco got home or you would have ended up at Oldenburg. The one thing you couldn't fix was the dropped transmission that happened after repeated attempts to take the car out for a ride. What fun we had growing up. Where else could you walk out your front door and have 60+ kids to play with within a couple block radius. We were blessed with wonderful families and great friends.
Your mom was so meticulous in everything she did. She was always a lady with a good sense of humor. Working for her was a pleasure. Please extend my condolences to Jay and Marianne and I wish I could have attended your mom's services. Moving away prevents us from participating in the joys and sorrows of life. I last saw your mom at Kitty's wedding and it was a pleasure talking to her.
Love to all,

Linda, Jay, and Marianne it is simply amazing what happens in life. Growing up I'm sure I saw your Mom & Dad at least once a week. What great friends they were with my parents. What they gave us is the concern we have for each other. Oh, those were certainly the best of times. Our fathers both passed way to early. I am truly saddened by the passing of your mother but am happy to know that she is at Peace with the Lord. Gar has kept me informed of her condition and I feel joy for her. It is always hard for us who are left with the memories and the grief. Your family was always special in the eyes of the Queisser Family and will continue to be. God Bless all of you and your families and I look forward to seeing you all somewhere in the near future.

Mary Lauck was a wonderful Lady in every sense of the word. As Secretary of the Senate, she was respected and performed her job with care and professionalism. As Aunt Mary she always had a smile, always listened with her heart, and always with love. As a master gardener, she was meticulous and her yard (and home) was always beautiful. AS Mother, she was simply the best. Linda, Jay and Marianne, I am sorry for your loss!
