    Tim and the Wahl family. It was painful to read the passing of Mary (mother & wife). Having met her at University of Nebraska during our freshman year, I can remember how vivacious, kind and caring Mary was to everyone who knew her. It saddens my heart that the family will now be without her. May your grief and burden of the loss of Mary be lightened by knowing that she is remembered by many and touched the lives of so many. May you find comfort in the words of Jesus.

    My condolences go out to you Dr Wahl. I was a patient of yours for many years. Even though I did not know your wife I know how much of a caring individual you are and I’m sure she was the same way. My condolences go out to you and your family.

    What a wonderful person, friend, roomate and human being,,,,Oh we had so much fun together,. I so regret not coming to Omaha to see her sooner. As I watched the service, I did it through Mary’s eyes also…Such a beautiful, loving family..She was so proud and I know she was there with you too. I will always think of Mary like a daisy….bright, freckled, happy with that great big smile. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Lovingly, Beverly Blount Smith
