Even though I didn’t see a lot of Mary after she left Minneapolis, whenever I did see her, it was always as if she still knew me well!! And when I was very young, I was jealous of John Sundell because I wanted to marry Mary!!!! Always smiling and positive, she always seemed to be having fun!! She always made me feel like I was okay, and special!!

It was with sorrow we heard of the death of John's sister, Mary. Her family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers as we remember the good times we spent with Mary, John and their family over many years. She will be missed by all.

I know that Mary will be missed everyday by her family and friends, who loved her dearly. She was a very wonderful friend and role model, and made a big difference in my life while I was growing up as her neighbor.
