I don't know if anyone in the family will read this, given that Mary died 7 years ago, but every July 17th I think of her and wonder... Today I decided to Google her name and found that she'd passed away at 55. I was a very close friend of Mary's for several years (we met in High School). We went through some tumultuous times that tested our friendship, but I always loved her. I moved to San Francisco in 1984 and only heard from her once after that, then we drifted apart. My name then was Eleanor Bell and she and I met at WJ. I send you all my condolences, very late but heartfelt nonetheless. If someone gets this message, feel free to email me at: [email protected] because I would like to know how she passed. God bless.

I am sending love to each and every member of the wonderful Healy family. Mr. and Mrs. Healy, I learned what selfless service to others was by watching both of you. Eileen, from the moment of our first conversation, I knew you were "one of the great ones". Brian, you are a kind soul who has taught me more than most. Jacqueline, every time I would come home after watching you and my family would ask "how was babysitting?" I would respond with the same thing..."that child is the sweetest, cutest, greatest." Peace be with you beautiful Mary.
Love to each and every one of you,
Liz Boyd Totia
