Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I have such positive memories of Mary. She always lit up our area office when I was an Area Superintendent in the Wichita Public Schools whenever she came in. She was such a wonderfully positive person. Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss.
Perry you have our deepest sympothy’s. it is not easy losing a loved one and there is nothing that can be said to make it any easier. Becky and i will remeber your parents in our prayers and will pray for you also. God Bless and stay strong.
Heaven is a richer place with Mary’s warmth and laughter. Mary made life at Alcott positive and fun for staff and students. Kids in trouble get always got a chill pill from Mary – she kept a ready supply of Jelly beans for them. Mary brought to us warmth, cheerfulness, great people skills, professionalism and a kind and caring heart. I missed her greatly when she retired, and always loved hearing from her.
Dear Crystal, Genie, Rick and Perry. In the days before your mother’s passing, I’d been thinking about her. Thinking that I would write and try to reconnect. I hadn’t seen or talked to her in over a year. So, maybe it was because it’s Autumn, maybe it was God that I was thinking of her at the time of her death. I wanted to tell her that I was grateful that that she taught me how to bake bread…and fudge. And I wanted to thank her for taking care of me and my little brother, Craig. But now, I’m telling you that I’m grateful to the Lord that Mary and Laverne Glazier were people of good character. May God bless you and give you peace. May He make His face to shine upon you and comfort you.
