Mary Tufft Obituary
Mary leaves behind her twin sister, Sara and Ron Schafer (Casey and Zach whom she thought of as her own); sisters Carol and Gary Wheeler (Jessica, Chloe, Melissa, Jaydn and Abbigail); Karen and Don Guidry (Shawn, Patrice, Jakob and JuliAnne); and Linda Tufft. She also leaves behind many, many friends and co-workers that she loved so much.
There will be a casual service on January 7, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. at Friendship Assembly of God, 3685 New Center Point, Colorado Springs, CO 80922. A reception will follow the service, with burial after that at Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to American Cancer Society Relay For Life (enter team name "Friends and Family of Mary Tufft") and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (in memory of Mary Tufft). Thank you all for your support - it means a lot to her family.

Pam and I have no words to describe how much we both miss you Mary. So we give the following:
If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment
If Tears Could Build A Stairway By Poet Unknown
Love Pam and Butch.....

There are no words for how I feel. Part of me left went you passed. You've been with me even before we were born. Mom always said we had our own language - and I believe it. I will always have you in my heart.
