Godspeed to Mary and prayers for the entire Schutz family. Her faith and family were so important to her. We are so sorry for your loss of your Mom, Mary. Life is certainly a mystery.
The Lord will open to them the gates of paradise and they will return to that homeland where there is not death but only lasting joy. Grant Mary eternal rest O Lord, and allow her to share in your heavenly glory. Precious Lord, take her hand and lead her home.
On behalf of the Cahill family, we extend our condolences to the entire Schutz family at this time and remember them in our prayers in the days ahead.
May the Choirs of Angels come to greet her
May they speed Mary to paradise
May the Lord enfold her in His mercy
May she find eternal life.
Love, peace & prayers

Love and prayers for all of the Schutz family and thanks to God for Mary’s presence in so many lives. Her devotion and wisdom truly influenced my life. Bless you all for the amazing love and care you gave your mom as her health began to fail. She taught you well!
So sorry for loss.

To all of my Schutz cousins: Aunt Mary was a remarkable woman who showed all of us cousins courage in times of tragedy, strength in times of challenge, and elegance always. She lives on through her wonderful family, who walked so closely with her these last months. As the last remaining of her siblings, she was the keeper of the family stories and memories and faith. As the only daughter among five siblings, her four brothers adored her for her beauty and many gifts and accomplishments. Although she would say that raising her family was the most important and most rewarding experience in life, her love of all things Purdue comes in a pretty close second. We are grateful to have had you in our lives and wish you godspeed to your dear ones, gone before, whose open arms will lead you into paradise.
