Suzanne, Sherry, Paris and Families,

What a very sad, sad day. We have lost a truly wonderful loved one. She was a very special part of my life. She leaves behind so many wonderful memories for all of us to treasure.

I can tell you, with total certainty, there is a very special reunion celebration going on in Heaven right now! Oh, what a gathering is there to welcome her home. God needed another angel and He chose a perfect one. Just remember, she has her health and is totally at peace now. Don't you know she is so happy to be with your dad once again. They always were a great pair!

May God hold her in His loving arms forever and ever. And, may He give each of you the strength you need to continue your journey in life without her there by your side. Just remember, she will continue to guide and watch over you as she always did.

My heart is hurting too. I will miss her sweet smile and fun personality. You were so lucky to have her as long as you did. You are all in my thoughts and especially in my prayers.

I love you all,

To the Schindler Family...........on behalf of my Brother Douglas M. Bow I would like to offer my most sincere condolences. Douglas was so very fond of your entire family and your Mother, Wife was so very kind to him. You were a wonderful chapter in his life. Your Mother leaves a great legacy.

I have several memories of her, her graciousness when I made her a rather "large & bright" bouquet of crepe paper flowers. She was kind enough to display them in plain sight.

A great Christian lady in every sense.

God Bless you all in this time of loss

Goodbye to one of the sweetest women in the world. My parents were good friends with the Schindlers and they were good people. Mary Alice went out of her way to make you feel special and she always had a smile on her face. I know Heaven was ready with open arms to receive her. My deepest heartfelt thoughts go to the family in this time of unimaginable sorrow.

We send our sympathy to the family,
I worked with Mr. Raymond Schindler
in League City for a couple of years and had a high regard for his knowledge and ability.
I later worked with the FDIC in the Dallas Regional Office and spent several years as a County President for a bank in Alabama.
