Not sure what to say?

My deepest regret to Mary's famly in the loss of their sister and aunt. Mary and I were sorority sister's at Ashland. I hadn't spoke with Mary in over twenty years until a very few months ago. One of our other sorority sister's and I called her and played a practical joke on her. She just laughed and laughed. She will be remembered for that huge smile and wonderful laugh. I was blessed to have spent some special years with her. My deepest sympathy, Billie Roath-Chester

To Mary's family,
I was saddened to hear of Mary's passing. Although I haven't talked with Mary in a few years, I considered her a source of spiritual inspiration in my life. She had such zeal and passion in her life. I met her at Alternaterm in the early 90's, she mentored me and discipled me for several years as I counseled there. She was truly a strong Christian witness to so many. Heaven's gain, but Earth's loss.
Sincerely,
Kim Tramte

I met and had the priviledge of working with Mary on a musical theatre production of Titanic. Though the time we spent together passed quickly, it was memorable- sharing our love of theatre, stories, and laughs. It was great to be around someone who was so full of life and smiles. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. May the Lord fill you with the comfort that only he can provide.

Mary was an inspiration to everyone she met, and I'm certain that all of her family and friends will miss her dearly.

Mary was always so full of life and the joy of the Lord! Now in His presence, she must be even more full of joy. I like to imagine that heaven is even more joyful due to her presence, too. From my teen years (as a member of the first Alternaterm teen drama team) to the present, it has been pure joy to know Mary and receive her encouragement. I'll never forget her laugh, her encouraging words and the mad money she sent me while I was at college. Her accomplishments and her thoughtfulness (in...

Genesis 5:24 “And Enoch walked in habitual fellowship with God; and he was not, for God took him home with Him.” (Amplified Bible) Mary walked in habitual fellowship with God and now He has taken her home with Him. This fellowship was based on total trust in Jesus which He invites all of us to have. Her loving example of trust will be missed.

I was honored to have the privilege of acting with Mary this past fall in her brilliant turn as Mrs. Bennett in "Pride & Prejudice." She was a person who exuded her love for life in all that she did. My most enduring memory of her will be her infectious laugh, especially while trying to help a helpless me do my hair before a show. Mary, you will be sorely missed!

To Mary Beth's family and all those she loved, my heartfelt condolences... what profoundly sad, unexpected news.
I was a classmate of Mary's from elementary school through high school and what I will remember most about her is her sweet, considerate disposition, her bright, beautiful face and her talent. Heaven has another angel.
May your precious memories, the love you shared, and the prayers that so many send you help to comfort and sustain you now and in the future. My...

I did not know Mary, but heard so much about her. She is a true legacy of faith in action. She as left an impression that reaches beyond those who knew her personally in Tetelastai and in the children she assisted at their births. She is certainly a welcomed guest in Heaven. My condolences to all who knew her.
