Dear, Ann;
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your dear mother… It must be very hard for you. May our Lord Jesus hold you and your whole family in His loving arms during this time.
My deepest condolences for Aunt Mary. I will always have fond loving memories of her. Sending you all love and prayers.
May God bring you comfort during this difficult time.
Your Mom (and Dad) were the best neighbors the Kraft family could have!! We loved both of them and can only imagine how much you will miss your Mom.
Our prayers are with your family.
Love, Kathy Kraft Updike
I worked with Mary for several years at Westmont Warehouse Services (later called Burch Inc.). She was such a sweet person and I truly enjoyed her stories about her family that she loved so much. I was only able to attend the funeral mass but it was special to me to see the beautiful family that she left behind. Her love and family values will live on in your lives. When I lost my own mother, I felt that a part of me was gone. I know you will miss her so much, but she will always be with you. She continues to be in my prayers.
Thank you for kindness and prayers. Mom was my rock during the hard times. I was very blessed to spend a great deal of time with her during the past few months. She is my inspiration. She went through life, as well as the last 6 weeks of her life with great strength, grace, and a faith in our Lord. I miss her terribly but I know she is happy in heaven with God and all those she deeply loved, including my Dad.
May God bless you always.
