Dear Dorothy and Family,

My deepest sympathies go out to you...Mary was the sweetest person and will be remembered in our hearts forever. I will never forget her kindness and love whenever we would come over to visit with Nannie and Gramps...and her chocolate cakes she made every year for our family at Christmas...one of my favorite memories of her kindness and generosity. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Love and Prayers To You and Your Family..
Janet (Hughes) Anglin and Mikey Anglin

Dear Dorothy, Butch and Family
So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was a wonderful lady! I remember her and Ralph as a little girl growing up and them always being around when we visited with Nannie and Gramps! Mary's Chocolate cake was always a hit with our family at Christmas time! I used to visit with Mary and Dorothy so many times as a teenager living next door for awhile, I will cherish those times forever. God Bless you during this time, may God re unite Mary and Ralph, know that they are together after all these years. Ralph, Mary, Grace and Bob just might all be together right now being neighbors again. Mary was always considered part of our family. My sincere thoughts, prayers and condolences are being sent at this time of loss. Love Mary (Hughes) Kopf and family

Dear Dorothy, Henry & Entire Suerth Family,

Our families are very sorry to hear of your dear mother's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Mary was one of the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We will always remember her for her famous chocolate cakes she'd make at Christmas for our brother Timmy at his special request, her love for her bulldog and the many cats that called her house home, the kindness, love and her Christian-kindly way...but most of all for the caring, loving and fantastic old-school neighbor she was to our grandpa and nannie...Grace and Bob. She will be sorely missed by all of us. We know first-hand that as time passes and the tears cease you will be able to see with clear eyes, a clear mind, and with a smile on your face all the things that endear Mary to each one of you in your own special way.

God's comfort and blessings to all of you,
The Natzke Children and their families
