Oh my. Life is never what we expect nor death. When I think of your mother, your matriarch, I immediately think of the Shop on Main that is now the Columns. It was a tribute to her talent and artistry. Mary was always the most gracious and classiest. I am so glad you had her near you these last few years. Your memories of her, I am sure, will last a life time. Sent with our prayers for you comfort in this time of sorrow. Elaine and Jim Schweizer.

I have gotten to know Mary through New Hope Counseling Center. I must say it has been an honor and a joy. My heart is saddened to know that her cheerful smile and gracious heart will no longer be there to greet me on our Wednesday evenings, but I rejoice in the fact that Mary is with her King for eternity. May we all find comfort and peace in the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. Mary was truly a child of the King. I will miss her so. Posted by Teresa J. Thomas - Bloomfield, IA - Friend March 17, 2013
