Although we hadn´t seen each other in years, Mary was a good friend at Westminster and we would visit when I was in Atlanta.
A very good friend with a great sense of humor. Patty Callaghan

Unfortunately I'd not kept up with Mary the last couple years. However I knew her as a terrific co-worker and friend. She had a dry sense of humor and a true kindness. She is missed.

I have fond memories of Mary. We were at E. Rivers School together. I knew her sister and parents as well. RIP, old friend.
