Mary was the best of friends for the past 50 years, since we were in college together. Bryna, you had a wonderful mother.

Dear Bryna, It was a priviledge to have worked with your Mom for many years at DHHS. She was a wonderful mother, as you probably know, a true friend and college. She amazed me with the bravery with which she faced her illness. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dearest Bryna - I am so so sorry for your loss, our loss of such a wonderful woman! I am so honored to have many memories of her when I was a student at DHHS in 1970, then as her colleague working at DHHS as the RN & our fine trip to Paris! Your Mom was so so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your Mom! It is my wish that your memories of her will sustain you through this difficult time. Love Donna

Mary was a devoted mother, dedicated educator and a dear friend. She was also a very private person and would seldom complain about the many challenges that she faced on a daily basis. She handled every situation with grace and dignity. It was my honor to know her and I wish her peace.
With blessings,
Marcia Myhre
