Nancy,

I am truly sorry for your loss. I have some of the best childhood memories of our families together. Sitting on the front porch having long talks. Playing bingo on Wednesday afternoon with your mother and her sharing her bingo chips with me. Please take care of yourself with sympathy and friendship.

Love, Linda

To The Baer Family,



Wow! What a great lady! Mary was so special in our lives. She will be missed by all! My memories go back to when I was a child and every Christmas night, "The Disher's" would leave our house in Park Ridge and drive to the Baer's home to celebrate Christmas together. It was always the best party! Every Christmas I was excited to see my cousins. Mary would always have so much food. Aunt Marion (Hester) would be sitting by the Christmas tree talking to my grandma (Margaret Disher). Mary and Nancy would be running around to make sure everyone was having a good time! Uncle Pete and Robby would be in the back room watching sports on TV. It was always so much fun. Mary loved her family so much and kept them close to her heart. We will miss her at the family reunions and special events, but she will be with us in spirit.



With All Our Love,

Sue (Disher), Ed, Jennifer, Heather, and Heidi Swanson
