  1. Mary Veigl was my special friend whom I met when her husband passed. Mary moved to Il. to be near her daughter and
    husband, Patricia and Frank Accomando. With Patricia’s help I kept in touch with Mary during the final 3 years of her life.
    Mary was a kind and loving woman who loved her Church and family.

  2. Mary was my neighbor in Wooster. She was always kind and loved to bring her sweet dog over for my kids to pet. I remember as being a warm and loving soul. I missed her when she moved and miss her now.
