My condolences to the entire Kopp family. I grew up on Euclid and remember visiting your family home across from St. Therese Little Flower Church. Your mother was always kind and had a welcoming smile.

Mary and I met while working at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City in 1975. She was a great friend, always willing to listen and offering support. She became my sponsor when I joined the Catholic Church in 1982. Her husband, Harold, was also there for me. They both had a wonderful impact on my life.
Mary was an amazing women. She raised nine children and worked outside the home. She was an excellent mother too. She did everything well. You could always count on her whether it was work related or friendship. She has been one of the best people that I have ever known.
Our sincere condolences to Mary's family and may God be with you.

I remember your Mom from 50 or so years ago, when we lived next door to you on Euclid. I can see from the photo that her sweet smile was unchanged. So sorry for your loss.
