My condolences on the passing of Mary. Mary and Bill were both reading volunteers in my classroom at St. Dominic School in Sheboygan. Mary always had a wonderful smile and contagious enthusiasm that she shared with the children. Many first graders became great readers because of their dedication.

Dear Bill, Tori, and Tim,
The world has lost a great person, and I have lost a dear friend. She was my best bridge partner when we played in a marathon. She will be truly missed. My prayers are with all of you.

A wonderful, delightful lady, dedicated to her family and her faith in Jesus Christ. My wife and I, California residents, shared many fun times with Bill and Mary, always sharing laughs and taking delight in remembering our high school days. Mary will be missed, God bless her.
