Dear Linda, Renee, and families.  I am so very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing.  She was a sweetheart! I have many fond memories of her but one the sticks out in my mind is when we were in Kindergarden or 1st grade.  She  and some other ladies were making dresses alike for some girls for our school parade and since my Mom didn't sew, your Mom made one for me. I can still see it in detail. She is finally home now with your Dad. Her time on earth was precious to so many.  Karen

My last of many memories is of Mary is enjoying a conversation with her and her good friend Helen discussing the 1940-50s era Cardinals and that was just three years ago!  Thoughts and prayers are with you, Linda and Renee.

Linda, Renee & families, Maemee was like my second Abuela after mine passed and by far my mother's oldest and one of her dearest friends. She pierced my ears, made me toast in the morning before school and always had her open door for visitors but especially on Sundays for Sunday soup. What a legacy she was and sure left a wonderful one to carry on her 
loving ways.  Love to you all, Kathy

Dear Linda, Renee and families:
I am so sorry for your loss.  You were truly blessed to have your dear Mom with you all these years.  She was a wonderful, friendly lady who always loved all the Klubbers.....and we loved her!  
Love,
Queenie

Renee and family, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your mom.  I enjoyed the photo album of the family.  Please accept our sympathy.  Chris, Tim and family.

From all of the family at David's Hair Studio, we will miss her sweet spirit and loving playful ways. We know she is in heaven having fun with her sisters, husband and most of all our Lord.

I have always admired your mother's sewing talents and wished that I would have learned how to sew from her.  I loved her voice and all the pearls of wisdom that came from her.  She really was a treasure and I respected , admired her, and trusted her.  I was very fearful sitting in her kitchen so many years ago.  I lost the coin toss and was given a ice cube to hold on my earlobe.  Someone else may dispute it but I firmly believe I was the first of many to have my ears pierced by her.  She was an amazing lady that many loved---especially her daughters.  
She left a wonderful legacy in the girls she raised and they returned the love and care many times over.

She was the cutest 96 year old that I have ever known. Thank you for sharing her with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mary, I don't think you ever knew how much you meant to so many people for so many different reasons. We love you and will miss you greatly.

I've always been grateful that 51 years ago Mary somehow talked her daughter Renee into coming over to play with the little red headed girl across the street from them on Minnesota.  Being over at Renee's house offered me some stability and showed me how a family interacts with each other.  Mary was the matriarch of the family and a great mom to Linda, Renee and all their friends.  During the last few years I enjoyed going to Renee's and talking to Mary about “the good old days” and she never missed a beat, she stayed sharp till the end.  Mary, you will be missed by those of us lucky enough to know you and, as I promised you many times, I will take care of Renee for you.

Rene, Dave & Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you.   I remember how supportive your parents were cheering you on.  May you all take comfort in knowing she is in the arms of her Lord in heaven.  
God Bless You,
Denise "Ortmann" Apple

Renee my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Your Mother had a nice long life.  But we are never ready to say goodbye to our loved ones.  She is at peace now and reunited with your dad.

You girls sure took care of your Mom, as she took care of you all these years! She was a sweet lady and know she'll always be in your thoughts and hearts. You can never stop missing your parents but they're now with Our Lord and the Blessed Mother, as it should be. Hope you'll feel a sense of peace soon..JoAnne Werner Anthony

Renee and family

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother.  You had her for a long time and that has to be a great comfort to you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and I am grateful to Mary for giving me my fun friends Renee and Linda.I know Mary is dancing in Heaven with her husband.

I THANK THE GOOD LORD IN LETTING ME KNOW THIS GOOD LADY MARY AND HER SISTER BEA WHEN I WAS PASTOR OF ST. BONIFACE PARISH. THEY WERE SUCH A DELIGHT. MARY WAS ALWAYS SO PROUD OF HER FAMILY. I'M SORRY THIS GOOD LADY IS GONE TO HEAVEN . AGAIN MARY YOU WILL BE MISSED. SINCERELY, Fr. Tom Begley

Renee, Linda and Family, my thoughts are with you all. I'll miss Mary coming in to see us at Dr. Mary's office.

Dearest Linda, Renee and families,
A very special and wonderful woman has left our lives.  She was always so pleasant and her beautiful smile will be missed.  Growing up I fondly remember the Spanish ladies Monday night card clubs.  It was so fun to listen the chatter, see their joy and hear their laughter.  Another Spanish icon has left the Spanish neighborhood and will be missed by many.

My condolences go out to my children, Erin and Tommy and my nieces, Jenny and Hannah, and nephew Jeff. Saying good bye to their Momo is going to be the hardest thing they have had to do. She was everything to them. She loved all of us very much. They thought she was going to be here forever. We are all very blessed to have had her with us for 96 years. Even though moving her out of her house made her sad, it made us happy to move her into our house until she left us to be with my dad and the rest of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed but she is where she wants to be. And free of her arthritis pain.  We love you , mom.

Linda, Renee and family,  Mo Mo will be dearly missed.  I know I will miss that smiling face. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. Love you guys

Keeping you all in our prayers. Mary was a sweet, caring lady who raised two wonderful daughters. May she rest in peace.

Such a sweet lady! I know she was a very dear friend to my grandma, Mary Wolfe. I sure hope the two of them are reuniting and enjoying each other's company in heaven!
