Thank you to your family for the nice tribute to your mother Mary. Will always remember her kindness and her creations at all the churches and we had a beautiful glass window at our house in Milk River done with a wheat Sheaf. I wish we could have taken it with us as we saw it every day. Our sympathy and condolences to all your family from ours at the loss of your mom.

"Mrs. Mehlen" as I knew her as a child, was my favourite elementary "Grade 3" teacher in Foremost. "Mrs. Mehlen" was always a ray of sunshine, always smiling and gave the best hugs, I will truly miss bumping into her. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family.

April Turner (Degenstein), September 8, 2021

Sincere condolences to the whole Mehlen family. It's too bad that the church in Foremost is too small to hold the service where Mary could be surrounded by the beautiful windows she created. She didn't forget us and we would chat we attended church in Lethbridge. She will be missed.

Bill & Kathy Ressler, September 8, 2021

My Heartfelt condolences to all of Mary's family and friends. I had the privilege of getting to know Mary when we met at my work many years ago where we would talk rocks and gems.. She was so creative and not afraid to share her knowledge. She will be deeply missed. Cathryn and family and the staff at Josees.

Cathryn, September 8, 2021
