Mary Richey

"I'm so sorry Grams, I tried my hardest to rescue you. (I kept my promise.) I will forever hold you in my heart. And cherish our memories and all the great talks, times, adventures, plans;) pictures we shared and lessons you taught me. The Lord knows the truth, and so do I, until then- I love you forever and a day." Kelz

At first I knew Mary as our secretary at Sacred Heart Church. She always greeted me with a smile when I entered the office. Mary was pleasant to those who came in to see her, and to those who called her on the phone. She kept things organized for Father and did a good job with other matters of the parish too, like the parish counsel. It was easy being Mary's friend because she was so nice.
The whole family has my sympathy, especially Dennis and Debra.

Our relationship with Mary began when she became our realtor. She sold our first house and then told us she had a home in mind for us on Brown City Road. Turned out it was the home where she raised her family. This was very meaningful to her and to us. She relayed many of her fond memories from there. She was an exceptional lady who was loved and respected by so many people. Our condolences and sympathy to her family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

So sad to hear of Mary"s passing. She was a very nice person. She sponsored our Little League team and we had a lot of fun that summer. Dennis, Debbie, Tony, and Adam we are truly sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathies and sincere condolences for all the loved ones grieving. Prayers for comfort in the days ahead.

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but hold our hearts forever.

RIP Grandma - I will cherish all the great memories

I found this poem in my mother's jewelry box.

AT DAY'S END by John Hall

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart...

Aunt Mary was one in a million.
I have great memories of the Farm House and the Imlay City House..
Shes the last one of my dads generation to leave us,, Thats just like her,,
She was always the last one to
leave the party.
I will miss her very much!!!!
Love & Prayers To My Cousins
& There Families
