I remember Mary Lawlor, as a kid at the Traveler. A fine person. I recall that she worked in the Society Dept., with a woman named Joan Kalloch (sp) who became the wife of Bill Quackenbush, a Bruins player. I moved on when the Herald and Traveler merged, in 1967. I do not recall knowing her path, but is sure was an impressive one as I read about her now. Rest in peace, Mary Lawlor Levine.

We wish to express our sympathy on the passing of our beloved 'Aunt Mary'. She and Uncle Frank were married a week before Martin and myself. We really appreciated Mary's caring, compassion and friendship. She and Frank were very special to us. Her memory will always remain in our hearts. Sincerely, Janice and Martin Witt
