Mary was one of my college professors, my first employer after graduating from law school and a wonderful friend and mentor. I was so sad to hear of her passing and will miss her and her funny stories. My sympathies to her family.

I've had the pleasure of working with Mary for over 25 years. She was such a wonderful human being who so cared for her clients. I will miss our long jewelry talks and her favorite nickname for me "Diamond Lil" The world was a better place with Mary in it.

Rest in Peace,
Joanne

Mary and I have been close friends since law school and have shared a lot. I live in California now, but I used to be a guest speaker at her class. What a wonderful person she was! Her passing at such a young age is a great loss to everyone. I have great memories of her and will never forget her. My deepest sympathy to the family. She will be greatly missed.

I have known Mary for almost 30 years and she was always a source of fun and inspiration. She had a great attitude towards life. Never to serious. I am sure her many students will attest to this. The picture captures who she was. She always lighted up the room. We will miss her dearly. Life seems so unfair.

Bob and I are saddened by the death of Mary, a founding member of "Our Bar Association". We will always remember how much fun she was to be with and how many laughs we had with her. Life was never dull when Mary was around.

So many memories of our youth - we had some wonderful years growing up - cheering, getting in and out of trouble but mostly laughing with the sisters at our antics. I'm sadden at the lost of a dear friend and my sympathy goes out to you all.
