Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland
It was a pleasure working with Ms. Mary at Lykes Bros. She was very friendly, funny at times and a joy to work with. My condolence to the family, I know she will be missed.

Ms. Mary, I so very much enjoyed working outside your office. I still have the Lykes Coaster you made for me, and I still treasure it. There will always be a special place in my heart for you.

I remember Mary very well at LYKES. She, in the Steward's Dept., was a first user of Personal Computers (PC's) in the early 80's to keep track of crew feeding costs per voyage. And mostly she was a good friend, always associating with our New Construction Division.

She was a wonderful person to know and work with. Many condolences to her family. I'll miss her.

Ms. Mary, for the few short years I've known you it was really a pleasure. Always a smile on your face and open arms to all. Such a beautiful lady both inside and out. Really enjoyed your cooking too. You will be greatly missed, but for you, I'm glad there is no more pain. Love you. RIP my dear friend.
