My name MORAG REID. I worked with your parents at the school district a good long time. Prior to me working at the maintenance shop, I was their bank teller.

I am most sorry to read of your mom's passing, the newspaper story described her to a T! Her patience with me calling with computer problems was just huge! I never hesitated, "Let's call Mary".

I do not know if I will be able to attend her goodbye, but appreciate knowing the time and place.

In my thoughts.

To John and the rest of the family,

I do not know if I will return from time with my family in time for the Celebration of Mary's life. I knew her through Trinity United Methodist Church when I moved back to Oregon in 2018. Whether I am with you in body or spirit, I will always remember Mary. She was compassionnate and kind to everyone. Her winning spirit was inspiring.  I wish you all good things are you grieve, I know that it hurts; I was widowed last year.  I will never get over it; you may never "get over it" and why would you want to? Remember Mary and honor her with your lives.

blessings,

Rev. Dr. Patty Meyers
