May The Grace of God be your comforter during this time Of sorrow
In Gods word Jesus tell us that he is going to prepare a room for us when your room is ready I myself will come for you said The Lord

Jill and Natalie, I am sorry are just three words that inadequately convey what I feel. It has been years since I last saw her, but I will remember Mary for her quick wit, her sense of fair play, her great smile, her infectious laughter, and her heart. She was always ready to have a good time, a great cook, a wonderful mom, and a friend I will never forget. If you were lucky enough to be a part of Mary's life, you knew that little person had a zest for life and a huge capacity for loving those she cared about. Hold fast to your memories of your dynamic mom. She may not be physically with you any longer, but I am sure she will find a way to be by your sides always. As I so well remember, if Mary wanted something, she found a way to make it happen. Goodbye my friend. I will remember you always with love and a smile.

Dear Phil and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Mary.. It has been many years since I have seen her, but I thought about her often and kept up to date with her through Face Book. I have so very many great , fun memories of the times we had together back in the day. Trips to the shore with Joey and Jill. That was before she had Natalie.. Mary becoming my Brian's Godmother. Her trying to tell me how to make a real sauce.. She was small but mighty and had a fun sense of humor. And, dont get her pissed off at you or there would be hell to pay.. Im sorry she got sick and I pray she didn't suffer.. I know how much you all loved her and I know she will be missed so much.. I want to wish you all, Peace in knowing that you all will be together again some day.. With much love and Prayers Dale( formally Wood) Heuser
