Mom,
I have the memories of your love to last me through my years. But,I have a sorrow that I have never known. I shed so many tears. I lost part of my soul that day. It's a feeling that won't go away. You were my mother, friend, companion, partner and the one Racheal would run to and be saved by Grammy. Racheal has beautiful memories of our life with you. You are so loved

Nathan, Lisa and Brad - my deepest sympathies for the lost of your Mom. Mary was one of the best memories I had of childhood - I loved when she came over for coffee and to chat - something I always looked forward to. If you need anything at all, I am here.

Mary was my cousin and friend.We were very close as young kids and I don't think she ever changed!She was full of energy and a zest for life and always more interested in giving than receiving.She was full of love for family,friends,neighbors and people she worked with.The world needs more positive giving souls like Mary and we will all miss her very much!! She and her family are in ourdaily thoughts and prayers.My guess is that Heaven is going to have a new "Bus Dispatcher In-Charge!!!"

Mary,
I will never forget all the crazy times we had together driving Donnie crazy with his crooked pants, when you hit my bus and blamed me-Donnie believed you(of course). The racing, school bus school, Hot Dog Annies, Hampton Beach, Red Sox games with you and Wally. Remember when I tried to kill you with the green apples driving back from Connecticut with the Senior class.
Helping me when my mother was sick -you where always their for me through the good and bad times.
You are a friend who will always hold a special place in my heart I will never forget you. I love you.
Debbie
