I worked with Mary at FCS for many years. I loved Mary. She was so sweet and the nicest person. We all loved her so much. She brought lots of joy to us. She would do anything for anybody. She was always in a good mood and funny. I am so sorry for her family´s loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Mary loved all of you and talked about her children and grandchildren often. I feel privileged to have known Mary and have her in my life for so many years. God bless you!
