Prof Schertz,
Today in an attempt to search for your whereabouts on the internet to send you a word of thanks, for all that you did to me as father and Ad advisor at U of M, St Paul, I came across this news of Marie's passing. Accept our deepest sympathy and we will be offering a Holy Mass for the repose of her soul, your welfare and the family. Thank you for. Because of you I am who and what I am today, I have a family and I have touched hundreds of lives I have come across. Greetings from my family and I hope to find you when next I am in Minnesota.
God bless you and reward mama Marie. Amen.

Wondered why Marie had not replied to my email about the O'Briens from Limerick.Last night learnt the sad news from this notice.Marie (in 1985) and I (in 2008)had been to Ballingary to trace our ancestors.I live in Melbourne Australia and believe we are related.I was about to ring her-- so looked up the internet to get a phone no. She sounded a very lovely person from her emails. I am 75 years old and we had similar interests.Sincere sympathy to her family. Pamela Sublet--Melb. Australia.

Marie helped me so much with my family history (Adair County, Iowa) and we sent many e-mails back and forth over the past several years. I will miss her.
