Dear Mary and Bubba,
I too want to give you my deepest condolences.  What a mystery this life is.  What a precious gift our lives our.  What a gift for me knowing your mother. 

She always had a kind word and a twinkle in her eye for me.  I always felt love from her and that love reminded me of my loving mother and ultimately the unfathomable love God has for us all.  God blessed Mary Catherine and God bless us all.

My heart is always warmed when I think of Aunt Mary. Her great spirit for life will always be a part of me. Praying for you Mary and Bubba.

Mary and Bubba, I will always cherish the memories of Mary from a little girl on Atlantic St. to the present and will always remember the good times we have had over the years. Love always.

My condolences to the family and friends of Mary Goelz. May god be with you all in this time of grief and may he comfort your hearts. It's so wondering that we have the hope to see our loved ones agains. You all are in my prayers.

One of the most beautiful people I have known... blessed to have her influence, spirit, and kindness weaved into a part of who I am. Forever in my heart... will look forward to being with you again one day, my sweet Aunt Mary.

Mary, I was so sad to hear of your loss.  I saw your mother's funeral notice in the church where we grew up.  Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I loved my Grandma Mary so very much. I am deeply saddened by her passing, but am incredibly grateful to have been blessed by her presence for the past 15 years. She was a good, thoughtful, and sensitive soul through and through. God bless her and all those whose lives she touched.

We loved your mother so much.  Remembering our wonderful trips with my mother, here in California, a film festival in Mississippi, the cousins reunion in Atlanta, the wedding in Santa Fe.  All the giggling and love! What a special bright was she.  Michael, Mary and I send our love today and everyday.

Mary & Bubba,
I did not know your mother personally but I can tell by Bubba's stories that she was a wonderful & fun-loving person.  I pray for you & Bubba during this time, that you find peace & comfort in knowing that you cared for her in so many ways.  I know you will miss her but I also know that you have many good memories of her as well.

Mary, I am so saddened by Mother Mary's death. I still remember her at your wedding in her BEAUTIFUL dress, so happy, smiling wide. She told me she was so happy that you both had found Bubba. And I will cherish the memory of her coming to the shore, telling me she was my substitute Mom after my parents were gone and having lunch at Mike's on the dock in Sea Isle. She told me to consider her my substitute Mom on earth. I know she will really hit it off with my Mom, my Mom was a MARINE! I know my Dad will enjoy introducing her to my Mom and they will watch over us and guide us until we join them again. With heavy heart, Francine Mallon

Mary, I have such fond memories of your mother ---the way she would laugh and say, Oh, Frank! to your dad; taking Jennifer over to see her when she was a baby; the way her eyes would twinkle when she laughed; how she was so good to your dad's aunt and uncle.  
She was a kind, caring woman who raised a kind, caring daughter--who married a kind, caring man!  I am so glad to have been able to see your mom this past summer.  She was still a beautiful lady. The world is a better place because Mrs. Goelz lived in it.

With great sadness for such a wonderful, loving, person.  May happy memories and many prayers fill your hearts forever. May, it also be comforting to remember that we can call on God and he will give us the needed strength to cope with our sorrows.(Psalms 55:16)

Beth forwarded your email, so sorry to hear this! I loved your email about her birthday limo ride, she sounded like a great lady.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mary and Bubba,  We just wanted to share our love and thoughts toward you and your Mom.  What an incredible lady and what an amazing life she lived. And so much of that was enabled by you both by the unbelievable care and constant love you gave her. Very few couples would have had their parent living in with them their entire married life. She is a beautiful lady with a even more beautiful daughter and "son" who gave her so much care attention and love. You are in our thoughts, prayers and admiration,  Judie & Jerry

Great woman for sure.  She has left many lovely memories!

Dear Mary & Bubba,

Our thoughts are with you during this time of sadness.  Mary Catherine had a great and fulfilling life. We truly enjoyed talking with her the times we visited. May you cherish her wonderful memories.

With much love,
John & Arminda Israel

I would call your house on weekends to report issues and would have the pleasure of talking with your mom instead. She would make me smile with her dutiful reporting of your whereabouts... My heart is filled with a great sadness and I grieve with you, Mary, on your mom's passing.

Dear Mary & Bubba,

My sympathies to you on the passing of your Mom this Christmas Day. She was a dear sweet woman and lucky to have both of you caring for her. She had a life well lived and the photo of her is fantastic! 

Wishing you peace,
Carol Meier - Brighton Gardens
