Not sure what to say?

Dear Michele and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about your dear mother’s passing. What a lovely tribute to her life of faithful service to our Lord. May she rest in Christ’s eternal peace, and may the Holy Spirit comfort her family at this sad time. With our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers, Emilie and Peter Heesen

So sorry for your loss Matt, Jill and family.

Mary was my true friend and neighbor we enjoyed each others company in our many lunchens and shopping trips and going to bingo and our long phone calls and working with her at Stabler. She was a dedicated person with her kindness and ready to help anyone. The void I'm feeling will go away after a while because I know she is at peace and I will get to see her again at some point in time.

I worked with Mary sometimes at Stabler at Lehigh University. She was a very special lady...who loved her job there and worked hard. I am so sorry for your loss of Mary. Marilyn Helfrich

Mary was truly a modern day saint. She brought happiness to everyone she was around. I personally am feeling a huge hole in my heart. It will be hard to know that I can't talk to her anymore or go out for dinner or to play bingo, but I will fill that hole with the many cherished memories I have of her. Her body may be gone, but her soul will live with me forever. May she rest in eternal peace.

May His grace comfort your family as she is at home in His arms.
