Not sure what to say?

Dear Mary (Norton), so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. From all I've gathered over the years, she raised her many children lovingly and cheerfully. Her lengthy life has blessed you with many treasured memories. It's unfortunate that I saw the news of your mom's passing too late to pay my condolences in person, but please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Sending condolences to the Dean family on the death of your beautiful and generous mother. She was a light in this world.

To All the Dean Family: You were so lucky to have a loving, kind and oh so faithful mother. She was a lovely lady and always made everyone feel loved and special. I was unable to attend her service due to a cold. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you All, Diane Mead

Mary was a faithful participant in Adoration every Monday morning, which is also my scheduled time! I will be praying for her on Monday, the day of her funeral, during my adoration hour. May perpetual Light shine upon her. Gayla Boice

My sincere sympathy to the entire Dean Family on the loss of your Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Aunt. She was a wonderfully kind and caring person. She will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Mary was a devout Catholic who prayed for me and Darlene. I give thanks to God that she was our neighbor for 10 years. Memory eternal.

Mary you are a good and faithful servant! May our Lord Jesus Christ through his Divine Mercy bring you home to eternal life. You were such a wonderful Cenacle sister, always sharing your wisdom and faith! You are dearly missed!

Aunt Mary was a wonderful woman. We shared many phone conversations over the past several years sharing stories, keeping up on family, and reminiscing. I will miss those talks. My heartfelt sympathy and love to my cousins and their families. Love, Monica
