Condolences
Geraldine, (Jeri)
I’m so sorry about Mary. During this time of sadness, may you find comfort in the sympathy expressed by your friends. At least you have all the good memories of Mary when you were growing up and the time you two have spent since you moved to Champaign.
You will always be one of my best friends.
May God Bless you and your family.
Love you,
Dot Gates
Geraldine, Dale and rest of the family,
I knew Mary as a quite best friend of my sister's during their high school days.
May God bless the family.

To the Family of Mary Virginia Francis Endres—
To know Mary was to love her. I really appreciated her friendship during high school. I remember one time when I was so proud of Mary when our English and Literature teacher, Mr. Robert Shanklin, never sat Mary down in a spelling excercise; I can't spell today. I just always ask Mary how do you spell __________ whatever. So glad to have known Mary, and I know you all will miss her.
Sincerely,
Avia Latham Pritchett
