I will always be grateful to Wayne and Sue Hoyt for introducing us to Dick and Mary. I learned a lot about "antiques" from both of them, as they were very generous with their knowledge. But it will be the "family and friends" memories that we will primarily treasure, such as Mary's fabulous baked beans, her precious smile, her boundless energy, and I will especially remember our "flea market" road trip to S. Carolina. Our condolences to Jennifer, all the family and all her many friends.

I remember my first trip to Maine with my family when I was 8 years old. Aunt Mary made us feel so welcome-- I ate lobster for the first time and visited the ocean. Her family showed us such a good time! Love and prayers are with the Webber family and I hope you find comfort in your special memories.
Love, Rebekah Riehl Osher

My thaught and prayers are with all of you! Many of my childhood memories include your wonderful mom. The many flee markets we went to, the endless meals she shared. Getting into mischief with laura and your mom scolding both of us as though I belonged. She was a very giving woman and I will always keep her warm smile in my heart. Sincerely Claudette Gagnon

Both Mary and Dick were part of the reason I still love Eastport. She was spunky and curious and ecclectic, unique all around. My condolences to your family, Jennifer. I hope to reconnect with you in the near future.

What I loved most about Aunt Mary was she always seemed to have a smile on her face. She always knew how to make you laugh. Like the note from Jane visits to Maine for our family were rare because of distance but we always made the most of the family reunions. We did manage one vacation where we loaded up the suburban plus a pop-up camper and trekked to Mary's. What great memories and my first taste of her rhubarb pie. Mary will be greatly missed and our thoughts & prayers are with the Webber family.
Lots of Love,
Steve

Visits with Aunt Mary were a rare treat because of the long distances of our homes, but she was always a joy to see. When she offered to host the Riehl reunion in 2007 I knew I had to be there. What a wonderful time it was. It was easy to see how blessed she was with her loving family that helped make that weekend possible. She will be never be gone from our hearts.
Love,
Jane

I will forever remember Aunt Mary's laugh! She was always such a wonderful person to be around. Her happiness was contagious. Six years ago, Darrell and I went to Maine for a vacation. Mary suggested we meet for dinner. I was very surprised when she showed up with Jenny. The four of us had such a great time and actually closed down the restaurant. It wasn't until later that Darrell and I realized Mary and Jenny had driven 3 hours to meet us. What an incredible, giving person. I will miss her!!!

I have the best memory of Aunt Mary Lou that I will always remember. I think it was a summer between high school and college, I spent a week with her in Maine. I had so much fun..she took me to the beach, we had lobster and we hung out and went driving around the surrounding areas. I thought she was so cool..we were like friends. She even let me perm her hair! She just laughed when I messed it up-it didnt turn out terrible, but not as nice as either of us had expected! She said"its only hair" and laughed. I loved being around her..so easy going and fun. I am so glad we got to come to the reunion in 2007. I have a wonderful picture of her with my son Andrew that I will look for and post. Love and prayers to The Webber family..we will miss her.
