Condolence message
So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I met Mary in the early 1980’s when I taught in the Chapter I program through Erlanger schools. I was new to the program and Mary was my aide but in a very short time we were not only co-workers but very good friends. She was one of the sweetest people, and I so enjoyed our time together! Such a good person! My condolences to her family at this sad time. Sincerely, Maureen Rauch
A wonderful Christian friend
When I first walked into Erlanger UMC, Mary greeted me with her warm heart and smile. She was a gentle and humble person who always had a smile to those she met. She is still a great example of what I want to be like. Her love for her family and church friends was an inspiration for all. I will miss her but heaven has gained a brighter star with her presence. Prayers to family for peace and comfort until you are with her again as Jesus promised.

My condolences and my deepest sympathy at this time of loss. We know that time can lessen the pain but no one can take away the memories and cherished moments we had together. In God’s word the Bible, we receive soothing words found at Revelation 21:4 which states that, “And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It is comforting to know that it will be a time when we will not have to worry about death and pain. May you be comforted by God who comforts all during times of distress. My prayers are with you and your family.
