Dear Tom and Family:
I am sorry to have read about Mary's passing, and so young! I am a voice from a long time ago, when my mom, Pat and I used to get together with you all at Ducharmes' house. I remember, like it was yesterday, how funny and fun Mary was; and she will always remain this way to me. With sympathy, Cindy Pendergast

Tom,Tom.Kelly and Pat, You are certainly in Gail's and my prayers during this difficult time. Mary and I had a lot of laughs throughout the years. I would call her Mar and she would call me Lar and chuckle every time. Too bad that we take that stuff for granted Stay safe and well.
God Bless

We are so sad. Mary has been a wonderful neighbor and friend for many many years. She would come across the street and sit with my Mom and I on the lawn and talk and laugh and laugh until our sides hurt. Mary had a knack for engaging people in raucus peels of laughter. We miss her so much! My Mom is in a nursing home now (she is 97). Every now and then, she asks me what Mary is up to. I am not going to tell her that Mary has travelled on to be with GOD and her loved ones before her. Mom and Dad and I miss you, Mary, but we will all meet again!
