So sorry to hear about Marys passing----always a difficult time for family and friends. I was always glad to see Mary during my time as an attending physician at Riverside. She was forever cheerful and was so concerned about patient care. It was a pleasure to know her and to work with her. A special person. Robert Thompson, MD
