Betty, Laurie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Sister Mary. You were all so good to her and I know she loved you dearly. I remember her fondly, often talking with her on the phone when she called Laurie's office. Well, she is now with her God in heaven - what a wonderful place to be! Love to you all, Mary

I met Sr Mary at Walnut Park Montessori School where my wife works. Immediately Sr. Mary struck me as a kindly, caring and holy person with a nice smile and a twinkle in her eye. I didn't see her much but when I did she made me feel like we were good friends and as if I just saw her yesterday. God has another Angel!
