From the Sievert Family,
We were so saddened to hear about Mary passing. All of our love and support to Michael, the boys and the whole family.
I can´t think of any of my friend´s parents that I wanted to hang out with, without my friends around. I will always cherish the memories I have when Burke´s would bring me on vacation with them to Eagle River. Mary was the best Mom for the week you could ask for. Those trips were stuff of legend and I am so grateful to have been able to spend that time with her and her family.
She was a gift to the world, we are all less without her. I´ll miss her.
I wish we could be there for you guys. We love you.
Kurt

So very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with Mary at St. James School in Arlington Heights. We had such a fun time with Mary! She was an excellent teacher and one of the kindest and funniest people! When she broke her wrist from falling on ice, one her way to Sunday Mass, several of us went in to school early to "do" her hair and make-up before school began. She loved her family and was a great Mom! Sending prayers to Mike and her family. Diane Wilburger

I will always remember Mary "Datz" from our college years, all through the rest of lives, keeping in touch. She was a very special person and I am thankful we were friends!
