My sincere condolences for the loss of your beautiful Sister, Mary. She gets to spend these holiest of holidays in the heavens.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was in my class and I will remember her smile and big heart.
So sorry for her loss. Maybe one of the smartest and sweetest women that I had the pleasure of going to school with. We had many fun times together as children of the 60’s that graduated in 1971! This world is a better place for you being here, God Speed dear Mary????
Sue ad family, Lonnie and I are so sorry for the loss of your sister Mary. Our prayers and love are with you and your family.

David, Susie, and Karen,
Bill and I send our prayers and condolences.
Love, Cousin Kris and Bill David
We all already miss the intelligent confident women that was my Aunt Mary. She was ahead of her time in the corporate business world run by men. When I was transitioning my career and business she was there for help and insight. Without her lessons and guidance my family and I would not be in the position we are today.Forever love, Dietrich
I can’t quite believe sweet Mary, my former high school classmate and dear friend for over 50 years, is gone. My deepest sympathy to David, Sue, Karen, and all their family and friends who loved her. Mary Was incredibly intelligent and creative. She bravely faced her multiple sclerosis, always staying positive and sharing with me how grateful she was that her disease caused her to meet many wonderful people. Not many could face that diagnosis and losing both parents the same year. Plus she somehow bravely faced the sudden loss of her loving husband in 2005, leaving her wheelchair bound and alone. Still she stayed positive and focused on her consulting business and her service dogs with all her heart. I will miss her always.
