Emmett and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hadn't met Mary until Dan Loy's retirement, but she looked so healthy and cheery that afternoon. Emmett, you hold a very special place in my heart and I'm grieving with you today.

Emmett, Katie, Matt and Scott,
So sorry for your loss and that my family couldn't be with you to celebrate the life of this wonderful women. I have wonderful memories of Great Aunt Mary and will always cherish and share them. I was going to reach out in May as I was passing through her area but didn't have much time to visit. Looking back, I so wish I would've made the time. Your family will always hold a special place in my heart, I hope that all the memories you are able to share help ease the grief that you have.
With Sympathy and Love,

Dear Emmett & Family,
I am so very sorry for your great loss. I have fond memories of working with Emmett and the gang in Animal Science Extension. Barb and I were there so long we became friends with the families and enjoyed watching the children grow and progress.
I'm living in Todos Santos, Mexico B.C.S. now and remarried. Steve and I were married in 2018. Please let the children know I remember them and am sorry for their Mom's passing.
Cherish the memories Dear Friends - when it's all said and done, that is what we have left. Hang on to the love and the laughter, any not so great times will disappear on their own.
Sending Love and Hugs to each of you. Blessings for Peace and Acceptance and to looking to the future once the major sadness has subsided. It hurts for a very long time; but life does go on for those of us left behind. Mary would want you each to continue and find your way in her absence from this earth. Love and hold each other and share wonderful stories of happier times - she'll be right there laughing with you in spirit.
Love to all,
Jo Hebert (previously Holland)
Animal Science Secretary ~ 1981-1986
Emmett, Matt, Katie, Scott and families,
We are so very sorry to hear of this loss of what is surely one of the most kind, happy and encouraging women we have known. We are so thankful for her advice, her conversations around the pool (not to mention the swimming lessons for us all) and just the positive view that Mary put on everything and everyone around her. Lots of tears for sure, but also thankful for a tremendous life well lived. Brad and Julie Skaar. Garrett, Ryan and Sam and families.
Katie, and family,
My deepest condolences. Your Mom, snd your Dad, gladly volunteered for every research study I conducted both at ISU and DMU. Her support, kindness and humor ( we always laughed alot when she came in) will not be forgotten. I so wish I could be there in person, but Im sending lots of love and prayers
