Dear Rupe, Vicky, Liz, Cindy and all our your families,
Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt hope that the grief you feel at Mary's loss is soon replaced by warm and happy memories of a life well-lived.
We have many fond memories of family gatherings at the lake and Mary's dry humor and impish grin. You were all blessed with a wonderful wife and mother.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal."
