Words can't begin to express how incredibly sorry I am for your loss. As sad as I am, I can't help but be filled with joy, too. Mary leaves behind an incredible legacy of love in her family. She truly was an amazing woman who helped to build a dynamic family full of laughter and love. I am so thankful that I was blessed to spend much of my life trying to be adopted into that family! Please know that I love you and I am praying for you.

My heart smiles when I think of the Wissler family. There are many precious memories from the Middleboro Church and also when they worked at Interfaith where my Mother lived. My heart goes out to the family.
