Hi Mom, today is the last day for your entries. It has been 1 month already. Time has went by so fast, it seems like only yesterday we were laughing together, and telling eachother how much we love one another.thank you for all you have done for us and provided for us. I miss you so much. I just wish I could talk to you and hug you one more time. It did go to fast, but at least we had the time to share our special moments when we knew what was happening and we were able to deeply feel them and remember them. I love you so much and I know one day I will be in your arms again and I will be so happy to see you. Love Amers

thought of you today ,saw a lady walking 3 boarder collies and made me think of you and how you love everything you touched ,,miss ya sis mary

Dearest Mary, We will miss you so much. You were loved & respected by so many & will always be in our hearts.

Many blessin to the family of Mary we worked together at USCC she spoke so highly of Randy & the kids her grand daughter. mary will truly be missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mary, the world will miss your balance, humor and perspective.

Mary, you always drove me to live my life with humor, character, and pride.  Although we worked just briefly together, your influence has made me a better person. Thank you.

May God Bless you and your family! I really enjoyed working with you @ USC. I also learned about border collies as well as how great & smart you were. Thanks for being there for me.

Kenny, Amy and Randy~
Mary would have been so proud listening to all you shared about her life.  You all have been blessed being a part of her life.  The outpouring of love and support at her funeral is like I have never seen before.  May the great memories you have help you through this very difficult time.

Evidently I have missed meeting a pretty special person. From reading the entries before me, knowing your 'beautiful' children, and understanding your love of animals I would say Heaven received a special one in you.

 Mary was good friend always had a smile for yuu. I will miss her at the dog trials and the trials won't be the same from now on with out her being there.     The Land Of Lincoln Border Collie Assoc. will miss all of her help and advice she gave to the club over the years .GOD BLESS YOU  MARY.

I find happiness in the fact you will be taking such good care of all the beloved herding dogs that have gone before their human partners.  I know you will connect with them and give them the care and attention they need.  Blessings to you on your journey. You will be missed here.

Kenny Amy Randy and family my heart is with you and you all have my best wishes I'm at a loss for words and I hope the pain changes into wonderful memories. I wish I could be there to help my best friend through but he and his mother know how much I care.Mary you will be missed and I thank you for all the smiles you've given me and being the best mom for my  best friend

An angel's arm can't snatch us from the grave, but legions of angels can't confine us there.

Mary, your impression on this world will never fade.

"God assures us that his angels are always nearby, ready to help."

Hello Mary:
In Loving Memory of you:
Love never ends.

Your Mom

Mary-You were one in a million.  I am so saddened by your passing, but I also feel so blessed to have known you.  You were a great friend and I will always cheris

Mary, we heard you had left us, when I was running my dog at the trial. We knew you were with all of us in spirit.  I knew you'd figure out some way to get there.  I'll miss your quick wit, warm heart,  and million dollar smile.  You can be with Sioux now where there are no bad sheep and the rest of us will look forward to seeing you again some day.  I love you Mary.

Mary, our run today was dedicated to you ... Thanks.  We did everything you said we could do, even though I doubted it.  You were a wise woman,who always had time for everyone.  A wonderful friend, and a blessing to all who knew you.  You are greatly missed by everyone.  My condolences to your family, who I know will miss you the most.
Love
Catherine & Mo

Dear Randy and family, please accept our deepest condolences. This has all transpired so fast and please know we will continue to offer our ongoing prayers and friendship.  May you find comfort in the memories. Sincerely, Tim and Susan Lewis.

Mary-You were one in a million.  You always made me laugh and you were always there to listen to me.  You had an effect on my life that I will never forget.  God bless you and your family.

Mom: You will always be in my heart and soul, and I know you will be with me wherever I go. The many times that we shared, it meant so much the way you trully cared. Through the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. One thing I am thankfull for, is you're heart was always an open door. So as I venture on this crazy ride, there is no one else I would rather have on my side. So that is why I write this today, because you always had a knack to show me the way. So I say to you my best friend, by no means is this the end. So as you walk with me in spirit, everything you say I will still hear it.The one thing I ask of you, is that when I have no clue. You will still be there to see me through. Mother Mary I miss you and love you so much!!
K...

Mom you will always be in my heart and soul! I know you will be with me where ever I go. All the times we shared, I will always remember how much you cared. Through the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. I am so proud to say, you had the ability to show me the way. So I write this to my best friend, by no means is this the end. I will always love you mom.

Oh Mary, I sit here shocked with the news of your passing.  It was such a pleasure to have known and befriended you. The gift of friendship is immeasurable and something that is never forgotten......
To Mary's family: May Mary be always in your minds and forever in your hearts.

So shocked.  I knew Mary because of her love for her dogs and via Facebook.  Such a shame to lose such a happy person.  I'll miss her a.m. posts; always sounding so up beat.

Mary made me feel like I was as good as any of the big hats when it came to being friends...she welcomed me into the trial world and although I am not involved in that many trials, she still treated me as an equal with the personal friendship that meant the world to me.. I will miss her so much!

Mary, I can't believe you're gone.  It happened all too quickly!  You will be missed at the sheepdog trials.  I will miss your countdown to spring on Facebook this winter.  Who will let us know how many days we have left of winter?

Randy and family, you have our condolences.

Rest in peace Mary. You will be greatly missed!

we will ride together again someday. big sister you will always be in my thoughts and my heart, thank you for being a part of my life. miss you ,love you. your little brother Rodger.

Mary,You are so miss,we love and miss you so.I know you will always be near,and always in our hearts.There will never be a better sis in law then youI love and miss you....love janet

Mary and I started the same day at US Cellular, she was so smart and funny. She loved animals so much and at times I would go to her for animal advice (she was like a 2nd vet). I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I know she will still be taking care of God's creatures - this time in heaven. My deepest sympathy to her entire family.

Mary, your wit and humor made the work day so much more enjoyable. I will miss you dearly.

Dearest Mary, I will never forget you, you made me smile so many times... you were a wonderful person and i know you will be an amazing Angel... shine bright my friend untill we meet :) xx

Mary, I love you, I will miss you, and I have endless respect for you. Thank you so very much for the gift of your daughter and son to help me through my life.
Ryan, p.s. you're dog crazy

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

When I 1st met Mary she was visiting friends down here by St. Louis. I stopped by and they all showed up. The following weekend Mary drove all the way back down here from Wisconsin to pick up her pup. She told me that she had been searching for 2 years to find the right one. She also got her 2nd Border Collie from me t...oo, (Zeke) and still wanted to do Obedience training with him. I think back now and am so happy that I wasn't one of those people who wouldn't sell a dog to anyone not planning on dog trialing with it. It really is amazing how these dogs can get into your life, and you wind up altering your future because of them. I think of all the laughs we've shared over the years, the dog trails, the exploding BBQ grills, dog training visits, heck she even did a complete research of our line of dogs she was so into herding. What I will miss most is her friendship and her diabolical sense of humor. In my book, she will be the blue ribbon of the heather.

Though I never got to meet Mary in person, she touched my life greatly. My deepest condolences to all her family. May you find love and peace in the memories of her wonderful spirit~

Mary, My Friend...I am deeply saddened.  You were a kind soul and you have touched my heart forever.  I have and will miss our talks from the past at cellularone and the present...even though only through FB.   I will truly miss you and will never forget you.   God Bless your family and Love you always.

Mary, I will miss you, I love you, and have endless respect for you. Thank you so very much for the gift of your daughter and son to join me in this life of mine.  Ryan

Randy, Kenny, Amy, family and friends. words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.
 Mary, my dear friend. you are truly loved my many. you have touched my life and have left an imprint forever. you will never be forgotten. every time I have a morning coffee I will raise my cup to you my friend. I am so bless to have known you. I miss you. love you.

I have always thought of you as a 2nd Mom and loved you as such.  I will forever cherish the memories of growing up and the laughter we shared.  You will be greatly missed and always in our hearts.  Love you Mom!

Mary, words can explain what you meant in my life.  You were always there for me and my daughter.  Your kind heart, quick wit and loving nature will be truly missed.  I loved every moment that you blessed my life.  You even allowed me to go 2 games up in our endless Cribbage games.  Love you.  Until we meet again.
