Dear Cousins,
Mary was so beautiful in every way. My mom, Theresa Dalsky Beres, would tell me how sweet Mary was to me when she stayed at our home in Racine. As a baby, my mom would put me out in the buggy in every kind of weather...snow or rain. Mary would always check on me and make sure I was covered.
She was so kind and beautiful in every way! So sweet!!!
Your Cousin,
Cathy Beres McCombs

your mother was a beautiful soul, she would do anything she could for you, when we had our chats. I will always remember her kindness, humor, and love for everyone, she always wanted family to love each other, and I considered myself part of this family, not just a HHA but a member. thank you all for being so gracious to me especially Mary, you will be missed, and I will see you someday on the other side.

You have my deepest condolences for your loss of Mary. Death is truly an enemy of all of us. Our loving heavenly father Jehovah will reunite us with our lost loved ones soon as promised in the Bible book of Revelation in chapter 21 and verses 3,4. These verses may bring you much comfort.
