"I would like to extend my prayers and sympathy to your family. Mary and I were classmates starting in kindergarten in the Long Grove school. There were 6 of us, all girls, that year and I remember Mary being a sweet, quiet little girl. We remained classmates until we graduated from North Scott. Although we lost track of each other since then, I have thought of her often. Please accept my prayers for comfort through faith. "

"On behalf of myself, my husband Michael and our daughter Emma and my mother, Virginia Schafer, we would like to extend our sympathies to Pat and the children and grandchildren upon the death of Mary their wife, mother and grandmother. And also Loras and Kathleen Schafer upon the death of their daughter, as well as our Schafer cousins upon the death of their sister. We were very concerned for Mary upon hearing of her illness earlier in the year. We kept her in our prayers all these months. We know that her suffering has ended and she is at peace with Jesus. We know she is with our beloved relatives gone on before us, especially our grandparents, Aunt Kathleen & Uncle Al Waring, and her good ole' Uncle Henry who passed on last year. May they all rest in peace. "
