Today we said goodbye to a beautiful Christian, Mom, Grandmother, and friend. Mary loved God, her family, their spouses and family,as her own unconditionally. We could not have chosen a mother-in-law more loving for our son. Our family has been so blessed to have her in our lives. She truly touched our hearts and enriched our lives..We are thankful for that. We will never forget when our grandson Joseph came to talk after Grammy was diagnosed. This is what he had to say, " At least we know where Grammy is going." " if anyone is going to Heaven, it WILL BE GRAMMY!" What a gift to leave with your children and grandchildren. That was Mary.
She is deeply loved and will be forever missed, until the Roll is called up Yonder.....
We are so sorry for your loss Alice and Tyke, see you soon Sheri and Dennis Kurn
My sister's kind and loving soul smiles down upon us. She rests in peace.
Deepest sympathy to the family. Andy and I so enjoyed spending time with Rik and Chasten and Jim (Budd) and his great boys in Traverse City in 2013. We know you all will miss her.
Love and hugs
Susan Antekeier
Our prayers go out to the Calkins family.
