Not sure what to say?

Mary is still remembered by me and so many people she served. I know she and Bill are happy and together again. A very special couple.

Mary was truly a special woman and a real strong leader in the Moravian Church. She was a person we all looked up too. I miss her quiet ways and her sweet smile. We are still taking care of her husband Bill here at The Village. He misses her so much. I miss her too.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Matz family in their loss of wife, mother, grandmother, Mary. Prayers to Rev. Bill Matz, Bill and Debbie and Randy and Cindy and the grandchildren at this difficult time.
In Christian Love,

Atty. Matz and family: We read the interesting writeup about your mother. Wow, she really had an impressive biography and was a wonderful lady. We want to extend our sincere sympathy to you and your family at this time.
She was most generous in using her time and energy in serving others - exactly what God is pleased with.
We are distant relatives of Edna Fatzinger and we met you at her luncheon. Again, our sincere sympathy.

Dear Mr. Matz & family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss of Mary. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Most sincerely,

Bill,
Mary was a wonderful woman and will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Will miss Mary who was a guiding hand for many. She performed the marriage for my late wife Anita and me.
