I met Mary and Theresa at St. Boniface Church not long before it closed. Mary has often been a cheerful inspiration ever since when I had contact with her mostly at St. Nicholas'. Theresa, I think you and your large extended families are a joy to know. May God bless you and yours.

Jonine and I send our condolences thoughts and prayers

Please accept my deepest condolences in the loss of Mary Theresa Barvitsky

Very sorry to hear about Aunt Mary, the last of the original Kovals. She will be greatly missed. I'm sure she is now with the rest of the Koval family in Heven. My prayers are with her. John & Siggie

Mary was a truly good and kind person. She and her husband, Tom, built a home next to my parents, and she allowed me to babysit Tommy on occasion. I learned so much from her and did not imagine at that time that my own son would grow up to become friends with her son, Joey. Since moving away, we did not get to see her very often and kept in touch with Christmas cards and occasional calls. I cannot believe the terrible sense of loss I feel, but I am comforted in knowing that Almighty God will welcome her with open arms and comfort all those who loved her so much. Our prayers are with her children and sister and all her loving family. Judy (Ras) Kratz and Family

To Know her was to Love her. R.I.P Aunt Mary

Mary and I have been friends for many years. Our husbands were in the Army together. I remember when she was introduced to Tommy. We gave her a shower. The memories that I have I will cherish forever. I am sorry for your loss.

I believe Aunt Mary will be greatly missed by the entire Koval family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you cope with your tremendous loss. This year's family reunion will feel the void of not seeing Aunt Mary's smiling face and her warm greeting for everyone! I have always enjoyed conversations with her. I am sorry I will not be able to make the funeral but please know my thoughts are with you. May she rest in peace.

Aunt Mary was always a very special member of the Koval family. She was a special friend to my mom, Anna. She was always smiling and shared her joy with everyone. She was so easy going and so proud of her family. Whenever I spoke with her, she always went through the list of her children, grandchildren and great grandkids and their accomplishments. She was strong in holding her family together after Uncle Tom passed. She was a woman before her time. I loved teasing her, and hearing her laughter. God bless you all during this difficult time. She will be missed. With love , Theresa
