Mary Engle was one of my very favorite people. She always greeted me with a smile and a hug. She gave off a vibe very similar to my mother's personality. It was comfortable to be around her. She brought peace and joy. I miss Mary.

We are so shocked to learn of Mary "Peach's" passing. Knowing Mary and Frank and the boys brings back a flood of memories from the time our children were babies and the good times we shared as our children grew up. Our lives have been the richer for knowing the Engles and our profound loss is Heaven's gain. Mary has left a rich Christian heritage for her family and we join you, Frank, Doug, and Scott and your families in heartfelt sympathy and love.

She was one of my favorite people. My children had her for art at school as well as a Sunday school teacher so they were doubly blessed! They loved her so much and she was a wonderful influence.

My dear, precious friend was one of a kind, a sweet, loving, caring woman who loved her family, her friends, but most of all her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She has been more than a friend to me for many years, she has been a sister.

My deepest condolences to Frank, Doug, Laura, Emily, Rachel, Scott, Joyce, Kathryn, Caroline, and Margaret. She and I spoke often of her love for each of you.
Though our hearts are broken now, we have the assurance that we will be with her again, and although earth is poorer for her absence Heaven is richer for her presence.

We also have the assurance that she is rejoicing in her new, healed and perfect
body as promised by God.

I love each of you and shall continue to pray for you.
