"Mary is an angel"--this was often heard by all members of our family over decades. I was about 6 years old when the Dristas family moved in next door to us on the highway. My brother, Jeff, and I actually grew up with Jim and Mark. We still recall to this day many of the stories of our wonderful childhood together. Mary was a part of this. Never a harsh remark, but always helping with a smile, and a kind word. She was one of the most compassionate persons I have ever met. Never thinking of herself, but always lending a helping hand when and where it was needed. May God bless you, Mary, and your wonderful family.

My condolences to the family. May you find comfort in knowing God is close to the brokenhearted. May the God of all comfort give you peace and strength to endure in the days ahead (Jeremiah 29:11,12)
