Read MoreI dreamed of you, Mary Bourquin, not too long ago. I was a kid again, and you were leading magical activities as you did. So glad we met those times at Physical Therapy, when neither of us was any longer a kid! Thank you for the bliss you brought to my young childhood. I so enjoyed reconnecting. Much love, jen

Mary Bourquin had a huge influence on my early child. Unbelievably creative and able to foster the same in those around her, Mary Bourquin made my childhood a rich adventure until the age of 7 when we left Los Altos Hills. We kept in touch sporadically and had great conversations when we met in Palo Alto at FRST four decades later. Love you, Mary. Thanks for opening my eyes to beauty, to wonder, and how to make it happen.
Infinite love to you and to your family,

We met Mary when Epressions opened in Los Altos. Such an inspiring store with delightful proprietors! They contributed a great deal to the ambiance of our downtown with their eclectic and whimsical artistic offerings. I can look around my home today and enjoy the treasures I found there. They introduced talented artists like Nancy Freeman who I wish I could find today. So, thank you Mary for your contribution to our lives in Los Altos
