Dear Howard and Family, We are sending our deepest sympathy to all of you. We too loved Mary so very much and have had many good times and laughs with Mary. She was very special to the Sandusky County Republican Women, gave so much time when she was able. Most remember-able to me was the Hawaiian hog roast we had at their home.
Rosie Evans
So sorry for your loss to all the family and friends. God Bless you all

To the family of Mary: She was truly one of God’s angels, she gave so much love to those around her. A very special Lady to me and to those that knew her. May God bless her and keep her!

Dear Howard and Family,
Among my many Grace Church and Fremont memories, Mary stands out as such a gem and such a blessing! I think of her corralling a large bunch of rambunctious 3rd-6th graders for Chidren’s Choir Practice every Wednesday after school, and I am still amazed how she loved us, tolerated us, and inspired us! I’m thankful to you and to her for such good memories out at the farm too, and for your friendship to our family.
Mary has “fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.” Alleluia! May you celebrate her life and the promise of the resurrection with great joy (and with great music!) I’ll be there in spirit.
Bonnie Turner
Dear Cousins,
Your Mary had a huge impact on me as a kid. I learned from her that love was always welcome and there was always enough of everything for everybody.
To this day, I talk about my childhood visits to your farm.
Mary, Howard and all of the kids are with me forever.
Thank you. Be well.

Howard and family,
Deeply saddened to see of Mary’s passing. I’ll always remember being at the farm with Susie and Debbie playing in or around the barn and simply being with you all. The smiles then never seemed to stop. Memories are rich. My love to each of you and will continue to cover your hearts.
