Mary was a very sweet person. She will be deeply missed.
So sorry for your loss. Mary was a very nice lady and a pleasure to take care of . I was the last care taker from continuum to take care of Mary, and a friend of Muffy.
Mary was a great teacher, well ahead of her time, she realized years ago how important pre-school was for children. She loved her students. She was a great animal lover and loved her cats. Her life was filled with a lot of sickness and pain and we are thankful she is at peace.
I had the pleasure of taking care of Mary through continuum. She was very sweet and think of her often. My condolences to her family and her close friends. It was a joy to have known her. God bless and rest in peace.
