Mary Detcher says
I am so very sorry to hear of Marys passing. She was a great lady and I know you will really, really miss her. As I well know with the sudden death of Eric we never know when death comes. It just sneeks in on you at times. I do know Mary was sick, however that still does not give you any comfort in your grief. If there is anything I can do to ever help you Christina or John please let me know. I am sorry I can not come to the service, I still have the little blue car that is falling apart, and I don’t think it would make it over to Indiana and back. Please let me know if there is anything I can do, I know how hard it is to let go of some one you love very much. It has been three years since Eric passed and still seems like yesterday. I know there are things you will need so please let me know. Love Mary Detcher
Lori Hayden says
Christy and John,
I’m so very sorry your mom is not with you here on earth, however I am so happy she is in a better place. You know she is in heaven looking down on you each day. Don’t forget to talk/pray with her…she would love that! I will always be grateful for your mom’s friendship and support as we work together at the Child Development Center. She is a great person and loved you both more than life itself. Take care and let me know if you need anything. Love, Lori
Barb Bertsch says
My heart goes out to Christy and John. You are much to young to have to go through something like this. Know that your mom was the best ever and loved the two of you tremendously. There will be a mass said for your mom at Saint Lawrence on December 9th at 10:00.
