    Karen & I are saddened to hear of this remarkable lady’s passing. Mary and Bill both influenced my bothers and I while my father was employed on the farm. I remember them always looking for ways to teach us valuable life lessons. May God bless her and her family.

    My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mary. I have a lot of wonderful memories of Mary as she had a real heart for the Lords work at Steer Inc. and missions. Even more beyond the mission ministry of Steer Inc what was really important was reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in her own area and around the world. I count it a joy to have known Mary and to have many different conversations over the years regarding agriculture, rural living, and sharing the Gospel. God Bless the legacy she has left behind on this earth and may we celebrate her life and her arrival in heaven!
