Mary was a wealth of knowledge and a link to the history of Thomson besides being one the nicest ladies in Thomson. May she rest in piece
Karen, Allen, children and grandchildren, you have my deepest sympathy. I had the nicest visit, though short with her, a few weeks ago and told her I wish I had her sharp mind. She just laughed ,and though we were talking through a phone, I could just imagine her usual most beautiful smile. She was proud of her family and expressed it in our conversation. She was a great example for her most loving family with much love and respect for others. Loved her! Sweet is the memory of Mary like the mellow rays of a departing sun as it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful matriarch. I have loved the stories her granddaughter, my friend Sarah Buchhalter has shared with me over the years. I could listen to those stories over and over again!! I feel as if I know Ms.Root because of them. Praying for this wonderful family as they celebrate the life of their mother and grandmother.
So very sorry to hear of your loss what an awesome lady she was beautiful inside and out always smiling and cheerful always made you up when ever she talked to you and always knew who you were and she surely loved her Bingo and was good at it She will hold a special place in my heart may your cherished treasured memories help you through this most difficult time.
