Dear children of Mary and Ted, As children my brothers and sisters and I grew up with Mary. We all lived in Waterloo and were together frequently. We always called your Mom Mary Lou, which she hated! I didn't get to see her much after she married your Dad but I have many wonderful memories of her. We had any adventures and good times together! You probably think of her primarily as Mom,but she was so much more! Warm regards to all of you as you grieve ! God love you and keep you close to his heart, Gig Davis

Recollections of dear cousin Mary At our family reunion in Waterloo in the 50's, Mary (center) thought we should try to be like the "Rockettes" with the famous leg kick. After many tries we perfected the routine accompanied by laughter and a lot of fun. Mary as I remember was kind, caring and loving to her shy cousin and a wonderful positive role model for the future. I will always remember Mary on April-1. We shared the same birthday. Thanks for the memories Mary. Peg (Langenberg) McKintosh
