Dear Harry and Family –
I just hung up after speaking with Harry, Candy and John right after Mary’s internment. It was lovely to catch up and spend some time remembering Mary, viewing the video, and remembering the time we all spent together as kids. I went on the web and found Wanamingo – I had never known where it was. Please know we think of you all often – you are in our thoughts and prayers – Love, Christine and Mark

I so enjoyed all the wonderful pictures of your Mom. Although
I did not know her directly, I feel that I know her thru the wonderful
spirit in you and all the special things that you do…just like her.
I can only imagine how much she will be missed. My condolences.
Love Amy
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Mary’s passing. I have very fond memories of visiting her home in Forest Lake with my mother Sonja many years ago.
She was a special lady, and I always felt like she gave me a glimpse of what my grandmother Doris might have been like. She was such a creative spirit. My mom used to tell us stories about Aunt Mary when we were little. My favorite one was how she wrote letters from the fairies to her children on lilac leaves in the summer.
Mary had a true love and artistry that few people have. She will be missed.

Dear Harry, Candy and Mick
Blessings will follow you through the days ahead. I am praying for you all that God will guide you. God’s garden has beautiful Mary with Him now. All my love to everyone
Mark has been a good friend of mine from 1st grade, on up to the present. I have many fine memories of riding my Stingray bike as a young boy, to driving over in my car as a young man to Mary and Harry’s house to meet Mark. Mary and Harry always made me feel very welcome. They both hold a special spot in my memories.
I know Mary will be greatly missed, but I truly believe this is not a time to say “goodbye”, but to say, “Until we meet again”.
May God welcome Mary with open arms.
God Bless.

Dearest Candance,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The Christmas card you sent last year meant so much more when you shared that it was a print of one of your mom’s paintings! What a beautiful way to celebrate her.

Mark and Lori:
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Loss is hard, even when it is for the good of the one who has gone to be with Jesus.
We are involved in some premarriage counseling for several couples at our church, and have a session scheduled for next Sunday afternoon. We’ll possibly be able to get there for a part of the service, but will definitely be late. Either way, you’ll be in our hearts.
Love you – Mary and Tom
Candace~
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom. Please know that you and your Dad and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. You now have a special soul in a better place who you can always turn to.
