Your Mom was always so nice to all of us when we would come for visits during our school years
She made us all feel very much at home – and always served the best food and pastries
You could always see how close your mom and dad were on this earth –
And now they are together again

Please accept my condolences for your Mom. Mary was always good to my Mom; (Hedy Dittmar) that was her customer for over 30 years.
I always remember your Mom’s upbeat spirit while she was working. She always nice to me, and I enjoyed talking with her on many occasions.
My Mom would be glad I remembered her today, as Mary was like family to my Mom.
Sincerely,
Don Dittmar

It brings tear to my eyes to read this. Mary was such a sweet lady. As a child I grew up
not far from where she and her family lived. She worked with my father Stan at his Beauty Salon and we spent lots of time visiting Mary and family in my younger years. My prayers go out to all of her loved ones. She will be missed.
