My point is that is isn't contrary to biblical teaching that a person may be assumed. You are correct that the scriptures are silent concerning Mary on this issue, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen because it could have. That, as I understand it, is sort of the way a personal piety goes. A personal piety cannot contradict scripture. The belief of many that Mary was assumed bodily into heaven does not contradict scripture, but in her case it cannot be proven by scripture.
