I work at MRH and have been fortunate enough to have known Mary. Not only was she such a sweet, kind person but was also a VERY hard worker. My parents, whom are both now deceased, were patients quite often at MRH. They always enjoyed Mary's company and were always commenting on how hard she worked. She really meant a lot to them. She will be missed by many!!
