To the Family of Mary, I am an old friend from high school. I have been trying to find her for a while now. A fellow classmate of ours that works up there in one of the court houses came across her obituary and contacted me. I am sorry to hear of your loss. My Prayers are with you, and may she rest in Peace. I, along with my friend Julie have forwarded her obituary to our other classmates. (Fellow Notre Dame H.S. Classmate & Friend of 1982) As Mary would say "82" RULES! :)
