So sorry to hear of your moms passing guys. Mary was a nice lady from what I remember years ago. And that's saying a lot when raising a group of boys such as yourselves. :)
It was cool seeing pictures of all of you all grown up. You all are looking pretty good. I often think about the good times we had growing up together Joe. I hope things are OK for you otherwise. Take care of yourselves.

We were all so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom/Grandma/Great-Grandma. I haven't seen Mary for years but have thought about all of you often. We have many memories from being neighbors on 113Th street. Seeing all of you last night, continued to give me reason why Mary was always so proud of her boys. You are all so blessed to have each other. You were all so blessed to have such a special Mom. Remember, your Mom’s spirit will be with and around all of you alway.She was very special . God Bless all of you Boys, your families and all of your Mom's other relatives.

The last time I saw your Mom was a few days before Christmas. She was excited about the clocks she bought for all of you, and looking forward to seeing all of you over the holdays. She loved you all so very, very much, bragged about you endlessly, and never complained about any of you. You are all blessed to have had such a wonderful Mother. She will be with you always, a little voice in your ear, even if you don't want to hear it.
Love and take care of each other...cherish each other always.
Love, Sue and Bob Hansen

Jerry, Jim, Bob, Kevin, Dan and Joe: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. My mom, Nancy Peterson, is devastated. They were good friends. I always looked forward to seeing her at the craft shows-she always turned up sooner or later. She sure was proud of you guys. I've got movies of some of us as kids and of both your folks and mine. They sure knew how to have a good time back when. Good memories. I surely will miss your mom and I am truly sad for your loss.

Jerry, Jim, Bob, Kevin, Dan, and Joe: I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I hadn't seen her for awhile but every now and then would run into her at Cub or McDonald's and she'd always like to tell me about what was going on with all of you :) She was a proud mom and grandma. I will always remember all you boys and your parents living next door to me as we were all growing up, to this day I don't know how your mom did it with the six of you :) There's a special place in heaven for the mother of six boys. May you find comfort in the many fond memories you have of her. All of you will be in my thoughts.

God took us by surprise! Our deepest sympathies to Mary's family, especially her sisters, brothers, and six devoted sons, whom she can continue to look upon with great pride.
She will be missed very much and we wish the entire family peace, and pray healing comes quickly with fond memories of your Mother, Sister, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt, and now Angel.
Love,
Linda and Christine
