Oh Mary my sister from another mister I will miss you for the rest of my days. Your love and support has never wavered in all the years I have known you. You always understood, the good, the bad and the ugly sides of me. As kindred spirits we bonded instantly and sometime knew just what the other was feeling. May you fly high with the Angels and watch over us all.

My dearest Mary. I miss you so much . I hope your soul is finding freedom and joy and all the love you shared with us here on earth. Love to Ray, Renee, Chad, Dave, Nicholas, and the rest of the family. To all the Gernaats and all our Northwood friends, and to Shannon and Kitty and Patrick who gave so much. We were blessed with good fortune to have her in our lives.

Renee and Family, May God show you peace and comfort during this time. I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember "mom" very fondly during my years in comstock. She was so kind and loving. I loved her laugh and always wanted my kids friends to feel as comfortable as she made me feel. Renee, my prayers are with you!!

Renee and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Karen spent many fun days at your home, where she felt like a part of your family. I hope happy family memories help you through grief. Linda Kellum

My condolences to the family of this beautiful woman. I was able to get to know Mary through NA. She was wonderful and kind. Never did she ever forget a face no matter how long since the last time she had seen you. No matter how difficult it was for her she always did her best to stay positive. She will definitely be missed. RIH And watch us all beautiful until we meet up again. ❤😪

Mary is the reason I have my bestest friend, Nae Nae. My fondest memory of Mary is when we saw each other after being apart for about 2 years. She saw me, and said "Bridgie!" We chatted a bit, and then she said, "Call Nae." And, since then, Nae Nae has been my very very best friend (across decades and states). Thank you, Mary! Every single time I talked with Mary, she told me I was wonderful. And, I would respond, she was wonderful for raising my Nae. Mary, you can worry if you want (I'll won't tell you how to feel), and please know, "I got Nae Nae. I'm here for her." Hugs, Bridgie
