I just read about Mary's passing in the Regina Dominican Magazine. I went to RD with Mary. When I saw her name, her smiling face presented itself. Mary was always smiling and always directed on doing positive things. That is my memory of her. I am sorry for your loss.

I knew Mary from Regina HS. We played basketball together. "Mary Oz" was a great athlete, great Senior Class President, great friend. She was a leader, but was one of the gang at the same time. Lots of memories of laughing together and celebrating beating Marywood and Sacred Heart. Her dad was our guest speaker at the Sports Award Night, and her mom was always warm and friendly to all of us. My sincere condolences to all of her family at this time of great loss.

My condolences to Mary's family especially her children. It was not surprising to read that she was such a community leader since her leadership and concern for others was evident at Regina. What an accomplished woman she was!

Dear Osmanski and Ferlic Families,
I am sorry for the loss of Mary. But this loss is tempered with the knowledge of her enjoying Eternal Life, and I'm sure she will continue to be a powerful advocate for her family and friends.

Dear Osmanski and Ferlic families:
I remember my times with Mary when we were classmates at Regina dominican High School, and although I have not seen Mary since we graduated, it was heartwarming to read others' comments about what they recalled about Mary, what she meant to them and the acitivities, charities and boards that she was part of during her lifetime. How interesting to me that already in her teens at Regina that was part of who she was and nothing that was listed such as social work, hospice, etc. surprised me as that was part of her character and what i knew of Mary in high school. Sounds like she further developed those qualities to a greater degree and in broader ways as she moved on to college as well as family and professional life. I am sure she was a wonderful mother, daughter and friend because that is Mary. Here's a little known fact--did you know you mom was a good basketball player, too? I can also remember meeting Mary's mom and dad and visiting them at her home. Mary seemed to get her sweetness from her mother! She will be missed;however, it sounds to me like she left quite a legacy behind with lasting memories for friends and family and wonderful charitable deeds. I am glad my path crossed hers for four very impressionable years of my life....she left quite an impression on me... so glad I was able to express some personal thoughts in a card months ago when I first learned she was so ill.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Fred, I am so sorry for your loss. I was Mary's nurse when she underwent her very first surgery for the breast cancer. I remember her strength, poise and beauty. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.

It is very hard to imagine that Mary Osmanski has left us so prematurely. She was a very strong leader in our class at St. Mary's and always demonstrated her high spirits and abundant energy in countless student government activities, as well as in her friendship with so many in our class. Bless you, Mary!

Mary was a shining light in South Bend. I remember the excitement surrounding the grand re-opening of the Morris Civic which she helped plan. Mary was an extraordinary woman and she will be missed. (I'm sorry I can't be there with you but I'm in Santa Monica with Heather and her new baby, Isabelle.) You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Though we were neighbors at Erskine and the Princess, what we remember most about Mary is that she loved the St. Pat parties at the Princess. Can't you just see St. Pat dancing a jig to have Mary there for the next one. Our sympathy pours out to you at this time of great loss.

For Fred, Katie, Beth and Gavin- Just want you to know that you are all in our prayers. You have lost a wonderful mother and companion- she worked hard for others and loved to party. She will always be remembered for her love and devotion to the sick and less fortunate. May she rest in peace and may you find strength and comfort in the promise of this Easter season that death is not the end of life but the beginning of a new life with the saints in heaven.
