I have pasted the note they forwarded below. There are simply no words to express the loss I feel at the passing of this extraordinary woman. She helped me through a pretty dark time in my life and I will never forget her. Her support and her lovely words of encouragement have helped me on more than just that occasion. They mean even more now. Rest in peace dearest Ms. Albrecht and know that you were a blessing to many here. God bless the family in their time of grief. Sila Herbert and I received the following note from John and Sandy Albrecht: It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of Mary Albrecht's passing. She passed shortly after noon on Sunday, October 14th, 2012. Not long after her husband, Joe, passed in November of 2007 Mary moved into Coral Landing, an assisted living facility in St. Augustine. In March of 2010 Sandy and I moved to Wilson, North Carolina, to be near our daughter's family, including her three children. Shortly after the move we brought Mary here to Wilson Assisted Living Facility. We would take her to see the extended family, especially the great grandkids, parties, playing soccer and for holidays, and other sports. Over the years her outings have become less and less frequent as her strength weakened and Alzheimer's progressed. She passed peacefully in her sleep around noon on Sunday, October 14th, 2012. You were some of her fondest memories as I am sure your memories of her are for you. Only the immediate family attended the services. Please do not send flowers or gifts. Thanks for your loving thoughts as she continues on - in Heaven. John and Sandy Albrecht
