    Absolutely thought she was the neatest and nicest cousin I had ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her style and personality was simply like magic for me as a young child. I am so so very sorry for everyone whose life will feel the void of her sweet presence. May God bless you all so gently.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mary last June and spending a week getting to know her. Mary was gracious, kind and a pure joy to be around. Mary’s ability to move around the party meeting many of Loran’s cousins, dancing with one of them, laughing with all of them created lasting memories for us all. Although I only knew her a short while, I’ll never forget the joy she brought to me and my family.

    We send our condolences to Mary’s family and best friend to our cousin Loran Schulte. We met Mary last summer in California and she left an impression in our hearts. She was a such a joy! We will always remember her wit, her laughter and love for all. Rest in peace sweet Mary.
