Not sure what to say?

Mary was the kindest soul. She and Zoe were the first friends that I met 5 years ago at the Sebring FL dog park. We looked forward to seeing them and Gary every winter. I just returned home from a trip to Vermont. I bought back small bottles of maple syrup for her friends here in her memory. She is missed.

Gary, Tom and I are so sad to hear of Mary's passing. She lived life to the full. May she rest in peace. Janet and Tom Patterson from The Terraces in Sebring.

Mary was a great teacher. She loved her students as if they were her own. Condolences to Gary, and family. She will be truly missed. RIP Mary. Until we meet again.

Mary and her bright smile and happy way with everyone will be missed at the Sebring dog park. She was always cheerful and interested in what everyone else was doing. And of course all the dogs loved her, too! Our hearts and thoughts are with Gary and all her family.

Deepest sympathy to Gary and family.

Gary and family, I was so so to hear to Mary’s passing. She was a wonderful person and a great teacher. I myself as an adult took a class from her years ago. Mary touched so many lives throughout her life and long career. She made a huge impact on so many children’s lives. I did not see Mary often, but whenever I ran into her she was always so friendly. I know she will be greatly missed! I hope all your wonderful memories will bring you some comfort during this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to read of your wife’s passing!
I didn’t know her but obviously she was a wonderful woman and wife.

Mary you were one amazing teacher!!!

Heaven definitely gained an angel, her love and compassion to the children at school shined through and left an in pact on so many of their lives. Gary so very sorry for your loss, may wonderful memories fill your heart. thoughts and prayers!
