I was so sad to just today 2/2018 finally find my old friend from the 80's when we worked together at a law firm in Georgetown. So sorry for your loss. I wish I could have found her years ago

Mom,
5 years later and it seems to only get harder- knowing that I'll never get to see you again. You left me in a great place and I will make you proud. I hope to see you one day.
Love,
Dave

Sweet Mary, I pray that our Lord and savior holds you tight in his arms and I will see you when my time comes. I only found this news today July 14, 2017, one month and one day before the fifth year since you left this crazy place. May God bless your soul and keep Jeanie and Julie's families safe in the days to come.
With sadness and Love

Mary I feel you still. They say the spirit will touch you in special ways. The picture on the guest book I remember that time so well. I so appreciated the fact that we understood each other in our actions and deeds. You were so good to help me with getting my house prepared to bring Pete home from the hospital on that last Friday. You showed so much love and I was in awe of how close we three had become. We would have been a great team for our retirement days that we were planning. I know you knew when I was visiting you. I was so saddened when I saw your ring cut off. That ring was you; so beautiful! I will never forget how you called me baby girl. I am glad our paths crossed again from the days of Federicksburg on my 50th birthday party when we found a friendship that never ended. You are my kindred sister and I will never forget you. I love you!

Mary was and I were class mates at WT Woodson. I remember her as smart, pretty and funny. My heart goes out to her family and many friends. Julie and I also went to WTW together. Be strong Julie. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister.
August 21, 2012
I knew Mary when she worked for Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in San Francisco. When I had a retirement plan administration question I always went to Mary. She was always willing to help and always had time for you. She was also my friend and I am saddened by her passing. I "celebrate" her life and know that her children have many many happy memories to help them through this difficult time. Teresa Zook (Wheeling, WV).

Mary was smart, creative, pretty, funny, kind and yet so humble. I was so blessed to have her as a sister and a best friend. I will always remember her taking me camping when I was a kid. She had no idea what she was doing but she made it happen. That's who she was and that's who I will always remember. She was so special and I will always love her - always. Mary, say hi to Dad and give Bear a hug for me.

I weep not for our Mary, for I know she is at the Door of Peace. Such a woman that loved beyond the world cannot be separated from it. Death cannot separate what never dies. We do weep for her children, her family, friends--ourselves. We will support one another in our dark hours. All who know Mary shall miss the physical and intellectual presence of her, for the mighty light bearer she is for us. May all find comfort knowing her Spirit lies in safe keeping within all our Hearts always....

It is with great sadness and heartfelt sympathy that I leave this message for the family and friends of the Tulipane-Gaile family. During this time of grieving, please remember that Mary was an incredible person, that no loss or sorrow, or time or distance can ever take away the special memories of Mary's generosity and kindness. Mary spent many hours with me before, during and after work while she was employed at Hogan. Mary was my boss, my co-worker and always my friend. I know Mary loved her children and enjoyed spending time with her sisters and mother. Mary was smart, she was funny and we always found something to laugh about. Mary made work very special for many people, her co-workers will miss her terribly. I know there is nothing that I can say or do that will make Mary's death be less painful, that it is always difficult to lose someone close to us. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. I pray that you find peace and strength at this time. You have my deepest sympathies.
