Mary Elizabeth Schumacher Fritsch
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
"She lived the beatitudes and became a true blessing for all of us who were privileged to know and to be close to her."
from her funeral mass, homily by Rev. Al Fritsch
she'd transform an ordinary potted flower
to a blue ribbon winner & humbly show its beauty
mmmm...
she
made and shared the best Christmas plum pudding and mincemeat
pies...most especially her hickory nut cake...taking all November to pick
and hull the nuts
"Mimi" generously donated her, time, talents, effort, and food for the benefit of others and to sustain St. Patrick Church... she is buried at St. Patrick Cemetery.
There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
Refrain:
In the sweet in the sweet
By and by by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet in the sweet
By and by by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
Refrain:
To our bountiful father above
We will offer our tribute of praise;
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.
Refrain:

29 September 1910 - 7 November 2005
beloved mother of six
grandmother of 14
great-grandmother of 23...and counting
Oh, how she loved to laugh at herself and with others, and that gave us all even more joy.
*******
This lady was a true blessing to all who knew her.
