Just wish to send my condolences to all of you. Your mother was always such a warm and caring Lady. She always treated anyone who visited her home with respect, and with such a gentle sweet manner, that I will always remember. May all of you find comfort in the many memories she has given you during your years together.
Sincerely,

I always enjoyed spending time with Aunt Mary & Uncle Louie. She was so sweet & kind. I will always remember her little house on the hill of the farm.

Dear Mary Lou, Sally and Nancy,
I just learned about Aunt Mary’s death. (Sunday) She has been on my mind all week and now I know why. I had a wonderful conversation with her a few months ago in the fall.
Aunt Mary was a delight to be around. She was positive, funny, warm and caring.
I know she will be missed by many people, especially all of you.
I have so many wonderful memories of times spent in the Waterford house for over nights and visits. She decorated so well and her house was warm and cozy.
I am so sorry I did not know. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families at this time. I do not even have addresses for all of you to send cards. If Mom was here, she was my resource.
My love and sympathies at this time. Aunt Mary lived a good long life but she will still be missed here on earth.
With love,

Deepest sympathy from Larry & Sharon Davis and Luanne & Wally Kilgore. Sharon and I are so grateful we had the opportunity to stop and visit with Mary a couple of years ago. She was always interested in the 1919 Model T Ford Truck on the farm in Nebraska, since it was the same age as she.

Sorry for your loss. I remember going to her home for a get together with the folks from Nebraska.
Dear Mary Lou, Sally, and Nancy,
I will always remember your mother as being a beautiful, sweet, gracious lady. The house on the hill was always welcoming because she was there.
My deepest sympathies,
