I worked with Mary many years ago at Abbott. When I think of Mary the 1st thing that comes to my mind was her laughter and smiles. She was always so happy and she made district sales meetings so much fun. She had a big personality that lit up a room. Mary was somebody everyone would want to meet and get to know. I lost touch with her through the years, but will always have fond memories of Mary. My heartfelt sympathy goes to Mary's family. May the sweet memories of Mary provide comfort along the way.-- Kathy harzich
