To all of Mary\’s family. Please know that we will miss Mary. She was extremely kind, gentle & very strong.May she rest in peace & know how very much she was loved. God bless all of you.
Mary Zeorlin was a woman of faith.I always felt at peace in her presence. I am thankful that she had a fifth child(Tina Marie) who is now my wife. Mary was not only full of grace, but also love and compassion.She is a testimony to young woman ever where who need to learn what it means to love your spouse in sickness and health. She truly carried her cross and followed Christ in this world. I know that her reward in heaven is great. I was blessed to have visited with her recently and when we hugged and said goodbye , not only did I feel great love in her embrace , but I felt her spirit, and my soul knew that I was embracing a strong woman of God who was giving me some of the graces that were bestowed on her during her life time of prayers. I truly loved Mary, so much that I named a daughter after her. I will honor her by living my Catholic faith and having a strong unconditional love for her daughter, my wife. I wept so much when I heard of her passing. Mary you will be missed. Thank you for teaching how to carry my cross and love others at the same time. You were truly a remarkable woman and I am so blessed to have married your baby girl who is so much like you. Peace be with you Mary, you are loved, you are missed, you are with God.
Mom, you know how much I love you and I appreciate everything that you and Dad have done for me and my family. I will always remember our fun times, all the camping trips, being in Girl Scouts, baking cookies, telling jokes, going on bike rides, watching you hold our sixth baby Luke. Serra, Laura, Grace, Greg and Mary and Luke were very lucky to have such a wonderful grandma. Michael and I will pray for you and think of you daily. Every time I smell coffee, taste cinnamon raisin bread and eat a bowl of cereal I will think of you, Mom. We will all miss you so much!! We love you and I feel comfort knowing that one day we will reunite in heaven. That was always your ultimate goal for all of your children. Thank you for being strong in the Catholic faith. I know that was extremely important to you, Mom. You and Dad had a strong love for each other. You shared so many wonderful times together, all the ups and downs of life, dancing together, gardening, camping, laughter, tears and so much more. You were my Dad’s best friend and our Zeorlin family started in 1954. Thank you for being a pro-life mother. The joys of having children was something that you taught me to appreciate even when others don’t understand why would any one have so many kids! Thank you, Mom. I love you.
