I realize I'm almost 8 years late, but this news still floored me.
I'm so, so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Mrs. T (Ma) was one of the most caring, accepting, lenient, beautiful, wonderful Saints to be put upon this good Earth. I Loved her no end, and the selfishness in me wishes I would've had the chance to say goodbye to her.
Even though I was only a friend, she made me feel as if I was her Son.
I'm sure Doreen, Linda and Pat needed quite a while of grieving, and perhaps, still are.
I will grieve too, and trust that He has a very special place for Mary in Heaven.

To the family of Mrs. Tonhaiser - my deepest sympathy. She was happy and cheerful and loving and kind as long as I can remember; and even up until God called her home. A great friend to my family. We all loved her and will miss her. God Bless You Mrs. Tonhaiser. I hope all of her family can take comfort in knowing she is in God's loving embrace now with her loved ones around her. Her heavenly rewards will be many. Sincerely, Diane
