Mary,
I am sorry for your loss. I trust your mother I very proud of you. Although I never had the pleasure to meet her, certainly she must have been wonderful mentor and full of enthusiasm, as the apple does not fall from the tree. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mary:

Please know how sorry I am to hear of your loss. You are so in my thoughts. Seeing the wonderful picture of your mother, I know now how you came by your grace and positivity. I also thank you for your grace in leading us while quietly bearing your heartaches. I took office the day after my father passed. I was, as I am sure you were, able to move into that day by relying on the inspiration of my wonderful parent.

Sincerely,

Jan Niemeier

Dear Mary,

This comes to extend to you my personal words of sincerest sympathy, upon the passing of your Mother.  The beautiful picture of her on these Memorial pages is wonderful to see, as not only does it introduce her to your friends and colleagues who never had the privilege of meeting her, but we see your own beautiful smile in hers.

Please know that we are all holding you in our hearts as you go through this life passage, and our thoughts are with you, your Mom, and your family at this time.

What a beautiful mother, just like you!

Dear Mary:
I was saddened to hear of the death of your mother. What strength of character and commitment to head for APA before joining your family to grieve together and share together. I hope that wonderful memories will ease your pain. Know that you are not alone. And your mother lives on in your thoughts and deeds. Condolences to you and your family.
