I thank you and Bernie for hiring me back in September of 1981. I have many good memories of my time working there. I have a wall hanging in my trailer that says 'hang in there'. The 1st person I thought of was Bernie. Whenever he saw we seemed stressed out, he would always tell us to hang in there. Old Trail was where I met and married Scott Ott, a marriage that lasted 39 years. Please say Hi to him for me. May you my 'Aunt Mary and Uncle Bernie' rest in peace.

Mary was one of my dad's favorite relatives, and it's not hard to understand why. She and Bernie were great people who watched out for others. I picked up a good work ethic from both of them as a teenager working at the print shop. I also have many fond memories of Labor Day get together's for the family as a kid. My thoughts are with your family, and I know Mary is with Bernie and they are happy.

Mary has been our weekly companion at church and dinner for that last 8 years or so. She was one of a kind and things will not be the same without her. We enjoyed her company and admired her dedication to God and the Catholic church. Hope the food is a little better in heaven Mary! Will will surely miss you!

To my 'Aunt Mary', Even though we're not biologically related she has been my inspiration since I started my job at Old Trail Printing Company back in 1981. I stayed on for 32 years and made a lot of friends and memories. May you Rest In Peace, Mary.
