    Rick, Bob and families:
    During the 1990&&single&&s, Mary and I worked together at Community Living-South Huron. We became good friends and shared many conversations and laughs over several cups of coffee. Jacob and Jared, Oma with a big smile on her face would tell me when you were by for visits. Both of you are very special people to Oma. During the days and weeks ahead maybe the memories will soften the pain.

    I had the pleasure of getting to know Mary, during my time with Mitchell & Area Community Outreach. Mary was kind, always willing to get active and had a great smile. She was thrilled to learn that I had accepted a job with Community Living South Huron – a place she strongly connected with. May the fond memories of Mary, help you through the difficult times during the coming days and weeks.
