My thoughts are with your entire family! Mary was a wonderful person. I will miss her smile and wave from each time I drove down the driveway... She cared a great deal about people and I appreciated the special interest she took in my career change. Let your loving memories of her offer you comfort as you heal...

Mary was my best friend. She listened to me, guided me and gave of herself like the mother I never had. I will never forget her...

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT MARY... SHE BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN YOU. PEOPLE JUST GRAVITATED TOWARDS HER. HER LAUGH, SPUNK, WIT AND ZEST FOR LIFE MADE HER SO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND. YOU WERE ALWAYS GUARANTEED A GOOD TIME WHEN YOU WERE WITH MARY. SHE WAS WISE BEYOND HER YEARS. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL. I'M A BETTER PERSON FOR HAVING KNOWN HER AND WILL CHERISH OUR TIMES TOGETHER AND REMEMBER HER ALWAYS. MAY SHE REST IN THE LOVING ARMS OF HER SAVIOUR AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO LIVES AND REIGNS FOREVER AND EVER, AND MAY WE ALL BE RAISED WITH CHRIST ONE DAY. THIS SHE BELIEVED. GOD BLESS MARY'S FAMILY. MARY LOU THEISEN CHRISTENSON AND FAMILY
