My father worked for the Bakers when I was a child. They were lovely to me and I was sorry to learn of Mrs. Baker´s passing years ago.I remember taking the elevator up to their apartment in Beacon Hill to be greeted with hugs. The way you make people feel is the way you´ll be remembered.

I knew Mary for many years while working at Charles River Park. She was a classy woman, with a warm heart. She was also a wealth of information, and could open your eyes to the world. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I know Heaven does not know what it is in for inheriting her shining star.
