Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Brian, Jennifer and Micheal, You had an incrediable mother! It was my pleasure to have known her and had her as a GOLDEN friend for the past 27 years. She will always be in my heart. Hold tight to the memories you have with her and know how very special the 3 of you were to her. There was nothing she would not do for you. She loved that new grandbaby of hers. I can remember how excited she was when she found out she would be a grandmother. I was told by my mother before she died that if I needed to talk to her all I had to do was talk and she would hear me. I do that allot. I can tell you that in time the pain eases, but you never forget. You will be in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I love you. Kim
I worked many years with Mary at Via Christi; she will truly be missed by all who had the priviledge to know her.
I am so very sad to hear of the loss of Mary Theresa. I remember every single member of your family so well, and I will never forget her sweetness and kindness. With my deepest sympathy,
