I miss your music, but you are in glory with my husband, Ted, who died suddenly Dec. 21,2018! Even though the pain and wilderness of our grief of Mary and Ted, we have been able to clearly see how God has used the results of their death for His glory! Most notably, it has brought relatives to faith in Christ! We have begun to heal! I have brothers and sisters in Christ with me every day during this pandemic, and they share with me in my rejoicing and in my suffering! I have not left my three acres since March, and friends and son Paul all bring me food and groceries! I dont need a thing!

You were always so cheerful and we spoke many times at Lake Huron Woods when I'd visit my mother. You are such a sweetheart. God has gained an angel.

My sympathy to the family. I do not know where to send a sympathy card so this will have to do. She was a very good friend of mine. I stopped in to see her in Fort Gratiot when I went to Port Huron. We saw her March 22nd, April 6th, and April 16th. She wanted to give me a rocker, but I didn't want to take anything. She called us often. She will be missed! May God bless you in your time of sorrow. May you feel comforted by family and friends! May you find comfort in remembering your dear sister every day!
