Dear Mare-Bear,
I do not know what to say.
Except, I think of you every single day.
It’s ironic, how God brought me to you.
When you were down and out and feeling blue.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to have met.
The times we shared I never will forget. Bagels, caramels, and yes even, Oreos….
Grill outs, luncheons, trips to mall & shopping at Kohl’s.
All the memories, I will carry deep in my ❤ 4ever.
An imprint, that in my ❤ and will never ever leave…NEVER!!!
The times we shared & talks we had, I never will 4get.
The losses and struggles that you have had, u know longer, have to endeavour.
Selfishly, I wish I could have you back, if only for a little while.
To share the laughs & talks we had and to see you smile.
I feel, at rest, knowing God has taken you to onto your next journey.
One where your soul will 4ever and ever always be free.
Ur BFF always and 4ever,
Jerri
We, the family of Mary’s husband, James J Walsh lll, are very saddened to learn belatedly of her passing. We had lost touch with Mary after many years of staying in contact. Condolences to all of her Erhardt family members.
