I am shocked, as I’m sure everyone is. Mary was great. I loved playing bridge, etc with her. I will miss her. I am out of town for another funeral and will not be able to attend Thursday. My thoughts will be with you all. R. I. P. Mary.
Thinking of all of you, and sending our thoughts and prayers! Mary was a very special lady, and she will be missed!
All our love,
The Cohen Family! ??
Mary will be greatly missed, so sad. She was friends with my mom, Bunny, since way back in the day they worked at Honeybee. Mary did two estate sales for me and was the consummate professional. She always had a smile on her face and an easy laugh. Hopefully she’s in heaven hanging with my sweet mom and having a laugh and a glass of wine. ??
We are deeply saddened by the
untimely loss of a beautiful and dear friend.
Our deepest sympathy to the
family.
Fondly,
Harris and Renee
