Mark and Pat,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother but what a great long life she had. I remember working with all of you at Kurt H. Volk back in the 1980's and early 90's and your mom was always a pleasure to talk to. I would always get a smile out of her while she was working hard on the machines. I don't know if you still remember me since I left Volk back in 1991. I started as a material handler working with Mark and Ray D. then they eventually promoted me to the shift foreman. My name is Jimmy S. Collins. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family

When I think of my Aunt Mary the one word that comes to mind is " Love" we were all touched by it in so many ways and and are better people because of it. Although she is gone from us everything we will ever need of Mary, that " Touch of Love" will be in our hearts forever.
Amen.
