To The Family Of Mrs. Hess. I was very sry. to hear about Mrs. Hess, she was my Sunday School Teacher at Calvary Baptist Church. I thought very highly of her.She was a very sweet lady and I always thought of her throughout the years. My sympathy and prayers go out to the family.

I was so saddened to learn of Mary-Katherine's death. She always made me feel so loved and special. I have visitied her at Richfield several times in the last 2 yers and she never changes, always the sweet, selfless lady I've know for 46 years. I always will treasure the memores of my childhood and how you always grew sweeter and lovlier every day of your life. Love, Your Neice , Patricia Hess

My heart ached when Maggie left news about Mamas passing. I will miss her letters ,they always seemed to arrive at just the right time,She was truly a wonderful person,

I first met Mrs. Hess as a young teenager, or maybe even younger, I just don’t remember. We all attended Calvary Baptist Church and then Bruce married Margaret when I was around 15. For 45 or so years I have known this wonderful lady and in all those years certain things about her remained constant – her sweet smile, her strong Christian faith, which I appreciated even more as I got older, her kindness, and her loving nature. I was her son-in-law’s sister, but she treated me as more than...

I was so very sorry to hear Mary Kat passed away. Although I had not seen her in years, I still remember all the times I spent with her and all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God bless you.

Mrs. Hess,

I've always remembered how kind you were to my brother, sister, and me when we were children. You taught Sunday School at Calvary Baptist and you always had such a sweet welcoming smile. Years later when I visited my Aunt Gladys at Richfield you had that same sweet smile.

I have taught Sunday School myself over the years and many times I've wanted to quit. But I always see your face in the back of my mind and decide to keep going.

I know God was using you...

Mrs Hess was a dear friend and I will miss her very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family
She loved the Lord and it showed in her love for others.

May God bless you all during this this time of sorrow. My deepest sympathies and condolences are with each of you.
