Sincere Condolences to all of her family and friends who will miss this wonderful person. I spent a lot of time at the McDonald house on High St. and and did some babysitting of her many young boys. She was always smiling and was the life of any gathering. She will be missed a bunch and hope the heavenly parties are in full swing with the siblings and Mom and Dad who went before her.

Eileen, P.J. & the family, So sorry to read of the loss of your sister. Sounds like she led a full & happy life. My deepest sympathy. May she rest in peace. Pat (Rulewicz) Lammers

I remember when I was young, Gene would take a bunch of us kids out to the county park at Clarklake. We always had a ball. I got my own bicycle when I was about 10. It was used and needed a lot of work. Gene knew a lot about bikes and showed me how to fix everything on it. I used that bike for a lot of years to Her. She was a good cook, too. One time, she surprised Dad once by giving Dad his own swivel rocking chair. He loved that chair.

There are so many memories I have of Mary making life fun and easier for everyone around her. When the day got stressful, Mary always had a sassy saying, or silly noise, to break the tension. She was a loving friend, and the best workmate I ever had. What a blessing she was to me, and I know, to all her kids and family.

PJ and Eileen, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister, My sincere condolences to all of her family, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time,

PJ, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your Beautiful Sister. May She Rest in Peace and May God Bless Her. Respectfully, Bob Smith

I´m saddened to hear of Aunt Genie´s passing and that I won´t be able to make it home for the service. Love to all of my cousins. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Ma Prestler at the hospital. She was one of my teachers for Phlebotomy. Her teachings taught me a great skill. I was saddened to see this. I will cherish my friendship with Ma Prestler. My condolences to her family.
