I’ve known Cindy since we were 8th graders and lived down the street from Mary Sue & Mike and her in Leawood. Mary Sue had a baby shower for my 2nd child at her house. I was in labor and asked her to keep it a secret. Which she did. I will always have a special place in my heart for this woman. I know how much Cindy will miss her mommy. We will always miss our Mary Sue. I miss my mom every day. I’m here for you, Cindy. I love you.
I was an “honorary neighbor†of Mrs. Mary Sue, via Peggy S. Mary Sue was always thinking of others, always caring and generous. Thankful to have known her. Rest in your dear Savior’s arms, good and faithful servant!
Sorry to hear of Mary Sue’s death. Thought and prayers are with you…
I know you didn’t say anything to me about losing my parents but Mark I’m sorry for your losses. I miss my dad every opening morning of turkey season, and I miss my mom everyday and grappling with myself every day? But at least she was there and I was holding her hand at 3:47 in the early morning when she passed.
So sorry to hear of your loss, prayers for your comport during these trying times.
What a dear loving servant of God. Mary Sue will be missed and remembered. Praying for comfort for her children as sweet memories fill them .
I loved every minute that I was with Mary Sue. She was so wise and yet very humble. A truly beautiful person.
So sorry for your loss. Praying your wonderful memories of her will comfort you during this difficult time.
Love & prayers to the entire family. Always felt like the Hedrick’s were part of my family!
Fly high you sweet angel! She will be missed by all.
So sorry, she was so sweet and kind! Sending big hugs, lots of love and many prayers!
