Aunt Mary was my favorite aunt. She was such a good friend to me and my mom. I will miss her very much.
Mary was a wonderful and loving part of our family. Someone that always cared for us and was lifelong friends to my mother. I am so sorry for the loss. We love all the Pacers as they are kind and caring people.
Mary, rest in peace with Hank.
Our sympathy and special prayers for Mary and all her friends and family.

Loved my friend. I will miss her so much, but I am happy she will be free from her daily struggle and will rest in peace. My heart is with her family.
Liebe Mary Beth,
lieber Udo, Mathew und Evan,
liebe Pacer Familien,
zu dem schmerzlichen Verlust, den Ihr mit dem Heimgang Eurer lieben
Mutter und Großmutter Mary erfahren habt, übermitteln wir Euch unsere
aufrichtige Teilnahme.
Sehr dankbar sind wir dafür, dass wir uns im Januar 2019 noch
persönlich von Mary verabschieden und noch einmal ihre strahlenden
Augen sehen konnten.
Sie wird uns sehr fehlen und wir werden gern an die schönen Tage mit
ihr und Hank zurückdenken.
Denn es heißt nicht sterben, lebt man in den Herzen der Menschen fort,
die man verlassen muss.
Mit stillem Gruß

To the family of my childhood friend, high school pal, and my maid of honor, I have my memories of Mary Rita during all those years as you do. Living so far away from Chicago our connections were the phone and texting, she will be so missed. Again, I send my everlasting love.
Ihr Lieben,
wir trauern mit Euch allen um Mary. Sie war so ein wunderbar warmherziger und liebevoller Mensch und wir haben wunderschöne Erlebnisse zusammen gehabt.
Sie ist jetzt geborgen bei Gott, zusammen mit Hank und allen, die sie selber schmerzlich verabschiedet hat.
Wir wünschen euch viel Kraft und schicken Euch stille Grüsse,
Erich und Anette
