Mary was a dear friend, we have lots of memories of time spent with her and Dick.

(2 years on)

miss seeing you walking to the mailbox.

(One Year On)

When Abbey and I moved to Lake Ridge 2 years ago Mary was the first person to introduce herself to us. She always had a good word and a wave when she was walking to the mailbox. I would drop by and sit and chat and she would tell me the latest news.

I will miss her and I'm so sorry that she is gone.

Rick, Steve, Corky and Denny; we share with you the grief of the sudden loss of "Sissy", our beloved Sister, Sister-in-law and Aunt.

Corky, Denny, Steve and Rick -

My special Aunt Sissy. You were such an amazing and wonderful lady full of love. I remember so well the summer I came to spend with you and Uncle Dick. You were so cross with me because I are all the chewing gum you had bought him to help him quit smoking. I remember you caught me smoking that year too. Patience of a saint!! I'm surprised you didn't send me back to Mom and Dad right there and then. Also our first Christmas in America and our first WHITE Christmas too. You took us all in with open arms and made us feel so loved. Those are the precious memories I hold dear and you will always have a special place in my heart. Hugs and kisses for Uncle Dick too. Love you both so very much xox

Fischer family;

Our deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful lady and we were blessed to have known her. She was like another grandma to Dalton and he will miss her deeply. We enjoyed being a neighbor to your parents and missed them when they traveled for the winters. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and we will miss her smile and friendship.

We are so sorry to hear of your Mother passing away.

We shared lots of laughs with her and your father years ago.

We all would pile in a car and head for Davenport/Rock Island for drinks and dancing and get home in the wee hours of the morning. Those were the days my friends. Spent many hours with them on Dodge ST. also. Those years are forever in our memories. All good.

Again, sorry for your loss,

Marv and Ruby Kowalke

Corky, Denny, Steve and Rick, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't heal but know that I am here for you if you need anything. I will always remember "tanning" time when were growing up and how beautiful Mary was inside and out.
