Mary Therese Bakos

We were so blessed to have spent most of the afternoon with Mary just days before her passing, sharing her excitement about the condo she had just purchased in Bradenton. It was such a shock learning what had happened! It is remarkable to have her many loving and cheerfully given lifetime efforts to create a gentle society all brought together in her eulogies! Over the years she and Jim were probably our most enduring friends. Visits to their home were assured to be accompanied by laughter,...

To the family of our dear friend Mary we send our sincere condolences for the loss of your mother grandmother.We absolutely loved when they would come to Bradenton for a visit we had so much fun she light up a room and make us laugh till we almost cried.She will be missed so much by us and everyone else that knew her. Let you´re happy memories console you.

Mary was a joy! She was a mentor in 1982 at Womens Club at St. Monica´s who gave me such great advice. We reconnected in 2006 at F&CS...again that smile, that wisdom and that great advice..she will be missed-Peace and comfort to her family....

So very sorry to learn of Mary's passing. I send my condolences to the entire family. Mary was a very wonderful person, and she shall be missed by many. Whenever help was needed, Mary was there to do whatever was necessary. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So sorry for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Mary was a very good friend to me. I always enjoyed our times together, a dinner out or simply day at my house enjoying our grandson Holden, or cheering for Holden at his swimming club. She will be deeply missed.

I have so many good memories of Mary. She was a special friend to me and we did many fun and wonderful things together. I will miss her laughter and vibrant personality. No one can know the sorrow I feel having lost someone who was so special to me. Life goes on but not the same. Now the heavens are brighter by one more star. My deepest sympathy to her family.
