Both Mikki and I are deeply saddened to hear of Mary's passing. Our only consolation is in knowing that the second Mary closed her eyes, she was already in heaven with her beloved John and daughters. She will be greatly missed by many.

A heart of gold. What a sweet yet strong woman. Even though her size was small her strength was large. She will be greatly missed but her soul lives on forever.
My thoughts and prayers go to Kathy Heidmann and the entire family. Love, Carole, Bill and kids

To the Obermeyer and Cunningham Families.
It was with a great deal of sadness that I read of the passing of Mary. Mary was a Faithful and Faith-filled regular of the St. Mary's 9AM Mass Family, I got to know her quite well during my years of service there and I am sure she is with the Lord. Be assured of her being in my daily thoughts and prayers.

We will all miss Aunt Mary. I remember many happy times as a child visiting with my cousins, Uncle John and especially, Aunt Mary, out on River Road. Unfortunately, I can not make it to Newburgh for her services.
