Tim and Family,

I was sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I remember her well from high school. Although I was a little bit older and not on the same teams, when I saw her obituary, I immediately said "Cross country running, skiing and track & field". She was a very nice person, always upbeat with a great smile. Her time on Earth was short; but, obviously, she made a difference.

Tim and family,
I am deeply saddened by the news of Mary's passing. I have such fond memories of Mary. Not only did she always speak kindly of others; but she had the most radiant smile as well. It was as if Mary had a candle that burned from within. May that inner light continue to shine on the Laurion/LaRosa family.
Rest In Peace Mary
