Dear Dottie and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was a very special woman and will be missed dearly. I always enjoyed seeing you both at the Post Office and the dinners at Chaffins church. She always thought of us at the P.O. by stopping by with a quick hello and sometimes her delicious home-made chocolates. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.
Fondly, Bev Abramson (Holden P.O.)

Sincerest sympathy for the loss of a very special person. Memories of her cheerfulness and enthusiasm will always be there when I think of my friend Beth's Aunt Mary.

Dottie, I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was always so cheerful, professional, and a role model for me at Saint Vincent Hospital. She always had the right words to offer in any situation, and her many kindnesses were appreciated. May God bless her and give you comfort.
