Mary Schoen Obituary

We are so very very sorry to hear of Mary's crossing the Rainbow Bridge . . . a cyberfriend from CanineL, whose stories of Violet the Airedale entertained us all . . . our Violet and Misha the Airedales will be meeting her across the Bridge.

My deepest condolences to Mary's family. Mary will be deeply missed in the Canine-L community, but something tells me that there is much joy at The Rainbow Bridge with her appearance there. Be comforted in the thought that Mary made the world a better place and left many happy hearts for her having been with us.

Mary had such a good attitude throughout her illness and I really thought she would beat this. I am shocked and deeply saddened that we have lost our dear friend from Canine L and send my deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. From her cyber buddy in Australia.

Kind regards

Heather

Dear Alan and family -

Our hearts are filled with a small part of the sorrow you are feeling. I feel like I know each one of you from the many many times Mary spoke of you all with such love and such pride in your accomplishments and in your compassion. We are greatly diminished by her passing but so fortunate to have had her loving spirit with us at all.

Alan and family,

Please accept my condolences on Mary's passing.

"To be loved is to live forever in someone's heart." Mary, you are in the hearts of Canine-L.

Alan & Family: I was very saddened to hear of Mary's passing. I have known her for many years on Canine-L and there is truly a hole there now. Please accept my deepest condolences and sympathies. She will be remembered fondly and never forgotten by the many many she touched through K9-L.

We will miss you on Canine-L, Mary. I'm sure Corky poodle is so happy to see his Mom again.

Alan and family

Please accept my deepest sympathies in your loss. Mary was a cyber friend for the past 7 years and will be dearly missed. I was so sure that attitude and frame of mind would beat this dreaded disease

and was shocked when I read of her passing. I will keep you all in my thoughts and Prayers.

Oh Mary, you left us too soon! You are already so missed here, tho I know you had a wonderous arrival at the Rainbow Bridge with so many to greet you. Blessed be- and all our thoughts and prayers to your family left behind. Mary Lynn, Ike and Babs (from Canine-L)

Alan,

I'm so sorry to hear about Mary. She will be missed by so many, especially her friends on K9-l. I loved getting her Xmas cards each year. Your family has my sympathy.

I don't know of any words to bring you comfort at this time. Know that Mary brought us joy and we will always remember her.

I was so saddened to read of Mary's death on Canine-L last evening. I will always remember the picture of her in the hot tub with the poodle boys. She was a wonderful voice on the list and we will all miss her. I want to send my deepest sympathies to her family who must miss her so very much. She will always be remembered on Canine-L.

To all of Mary's family and friends, my deepest and most sincere sympathy! I have known Mary as a cyber-friend from the Canine-L list for more than a decade, and will miss hearing from her and the "Poodle Boys" very much, but I know how much more you who lived with her and loved her will miss her, and wish I could find better words to tell you how sorry I am to hear she has gone from your lives in the here and now. I am sure that you will, however, meet again, as will we all. My love and sympathy are with you!

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Mary's family. She was an integral part of Canine-L and will be missed by all of us.

Sweet Mary: I thought your positive attitude and our many prayers would have been enough to beat the disease that took you. I yield to God's perfect will. You will be missed by all of us on Canine-L. You will not be forgotten because you were loved by all of us.

Deepest sympathies to all who loved her from a "cyber friend." We will miss her cheerful voice and poodle stories on the canine-l listserv.

I was a friend of Mary's from the CANINE-L list. She was a an enthusiastic participant on the list, a kind person and a good friend to us all. We will miss her very much.

Dear Alan and family,

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Mary was such an integral part of our worldwide Canine-L community on the internet. We will miss her and can only imagine how you are missing her.

Dear Alan, Valerie, Cecily, and Delores,



I knew Mary through her love for poodles and met on the internet. While I found her to be such a kind person, I get such a great feel for her character while reading this guest book. You have my deepest sympathy in your great loss. Mary will be great missed by all that knew her.

As another of Mary's Canine-L family please accept my condolences on her passing. I will always remember her wonderful sense of humor, her courage and her love for her "poodle boys" and her human family. She touched so many lives!

I'm so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Although I never met her in person, I felt like I knew her through Canine-L. I always looked forward to her messages. We've lost a wonderful list member and she will be missed.

My condolences to the family on the loss of Mary. Although I never met her in person even on e-mail she came through as a caring, sensitive and courageous person. She will be missed on Canine-L.

To everyone in Mary's Family:

She was such a wonderful person. Always smiling, always laughing, always so sweet. I looked forward to going to her house to go over my wedding invitations, because Mary, Alan & Dolores made me laugh with their stories from their trips, their advice on cruises and she was so excited for me. I loved it when she called me "Pretty Julie". I will never forget her. She was truly special.

Loving thoughts and memories will stay within our hearts forever. Mary was a very unforgetable person.I will miss you so much my dearest friend. Until we meet again, I love you.

Dear Alan, Cecily & Valerie...what sad news - we just heard today. We have so many wonderful, happy memories of Mary and the great Bell days. Our prayers are with all of you. Nikki, Marc, Karen & Joe Siciliano

Cecily and family:

I was very saddened to hear about your loss. I remember your mom's love of life, her laughter and sense of humor. My thoughts are with you through this very difficult time. Peace and love, Stephanie

My deepest sympathies to you all. Mary will be missed by all who knew her. We have all been touched by a very special person with great spirit and an enormous love of life and family. My heart goes out to all of you and my prayers are with you. God bless us all for having had such joy in our lives.

Dear Alan, Valerie, Cecily, and Delores,

I am so sorry for your loss of wife, mother, and sister. Mary was a wonderful person and we all loved her at SSKHS. She brought laughter into all of our lives. She always looked so quiet and innocent, but she was quite the character. We all had a great time giving the nuns a hard time.

The reunion at your home was wonderful and Mary will certainly be missed if we have another. My love and sympathy to each and every one of you.

Valerie and Family:

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I am always here for you if you need me.

My condolences to Mary, Alan and

family, from a former classmate of

SSKHS. A contribution will be made to SSKHS Church in Mary's memory.

Our love and deepest sympathy are

with you.

Al and Family: Just a word to tell you, as you already know, how wonderful it was to have Mary touch our lives. Helping Joe and Julie when they had their weddings with their wedding invitations was something special for us to have and she will always remain in our hearts. She made us smile and what a wonderful gift that was. We will always love her.

Our deepest sympathies to Uncle Alan, Cecily & Valerie. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to all of Mary's family.
