Mom went to be with Jesus this morning and while we grieve our loss, we celebrate her release from earth and are so thankful that she is free and with our Lord Jesus. It is heartbreaking for us not to have a memorial service in person for my mom due to Covid-19. We know there are so many of you who loved our mom so much and would want to celebrate her life. We are having a family-only graveside service on Thursday, September 3rd because of Covid concerns and restrictions.
We also wanted to share that last week, dad, Brian and I (Brynn) were together with mom, and we were able to tell mom how much we love her, how we will all take care of each other and we gave her our release to go to Jesus when she was ready. She was alert and we all believe she absolutely understood us. We are incredibly thankful that we were given this time together.
We created this memorial page to celebrate the life of our incredible mom, wife and friend, Mary Hendricks. Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort as we grieve through this time. Thank you for contributing to this lasting memorial. We are so thankful for all of you. Please feel free to add your own photos and write notes directly to her or to our family as a whole - you can write either "tributes" or there is a "story" tab where you can write as well.
You can send cards to Don Hendricks at:
