Memories and Condolences
for MARY REXFORD
March 2, 2016
I work at St. Ambrose in Annandale. Mary called into our office not long after she was diagnosed. My mom died of lung cancer not long ago. We had a nice chat and I assured her of my prayers. I've had her name on my computer ever since I spoke with her. I will continue to pray for Mary and all of the family as you mourn the loss of such a sweet lady. Laura C

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.

My beautiful friend and confidante...who will I talk with every week..or on my way home..or when I am sad and happy? I will miss your voice, your smile, you playing with your hair, your calmness. Who will I go to the movies with, shopping with, to book club with, to GAPS Gals dinners with? Who will give me advice about work, family, relationships, bathroom and kitchen design when I need it? I know you are in a better place and I will get to see you on the other side but I feel so empty now. I will hold on to our memories in my heart and every time I lose my way, I will remember you and seek your advice. All my love and strength to Randy, Joanne, Diane, Rick, Brian, Kerrie and the rest of the warm Henry family.

I am sorry for your loss. Mary was a special person with such grace and kindness.
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are with us."
Rest in Peace Mary!

I worked with Mary many many years ago while at PW. She was always very professional, and kind and comforting, while I adjust to working on domestic US client work. Looking at the pictures compiled by loving family members and friends, I could tell Mary lived a very happy life, amid the loving company of family and friends. Mary, you are such a gentle soul. You are in our good Lord's hands holding you on your way to a new Home with Him in paradise. Sending my prayers of healing and comfort to your family.

I lost touch with Mary after we worked together for many years when I started at Price Waterhouse. She was a kind and gentle soul. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers for her family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Mary was such a lovely person. I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to know her better (or, in a different context) but in the short time that I did know her, her wonderful "spark" shone through. I hope that her memory will be a comfort at this difficult time.

I don't know quite what to say. Randy, my heart is with you (does that even make sense?).
Mary, you were my dearest friend across the miles, across the years, I always felt you with me. It could be years between visits sometimes, but when we were together, it was as if only a moment had passed. Sometimes. from opposite sides of the globe. we had bought the same clothes how can that happen?
I love you Mary, may you find peace in heaven I know that is where you are. I don't believe, but I still know that is where you are. The day you passed, the sky was clear and blue. That is where I will always see you from this day forward. In a blue, cloudless sky, watching us all. May peace be with you forever.
With all my love forever more. Sally

Jim and I are heartbroken at the passing of Mary and offer our deepest sympathy for your loss. We hope that your wonderful memories of her will bring you comfort during this difficult time. Mary was my (Darlene) first best friend and I loved her like a sister. Both Jim and I are grateful to have had Mary in our lives. If it were not for Mary, we would not have met and for that we are grateful.
