Holly Karpstein wrote a sympathy message

“I had the pleasure of knowing Mary and Dent, her late husband, through my parents, Betty and Rudy Karpstein. They were all best friends from having connections through the military. She was a wonderful, kind person who had a great sense of humour. I always wished that if I ever had to choose a second set of parents, it would have been Mary and Dent. I hope she is in heaven enjoying my mother's company and laughing at our crazy world.. I loved her dearly. Holly Karpstein”
