I remember when my husband Dick died and Aunt Mary would call me with comforting words. She knew how at a loss I was, for she had the same feelings about Uncle Fritz. I feel very blessed to have had her in my life. I know she is smiling now for she will be
eternally happy. May God bless all of you and keep you in his care.

I will miss my Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary and I had written several letters over the last many years. I will always remember her for her way with words and her wonderful laugh.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Love,
