My deepest sympathies to my college friend, PG. Your mom sounded like a wonderful person.

Thank you for all your fond memories and kind thoughts for Mary, my mother. We are moved by the outpouring of love and compassion for her life and her work. She is a living testament to the idea that one person, with energy, dedication, and vision can, indeed, make a difference!

Mary was a a human dynamo. While I knew her best from Republican politics, Mary's passion was felt though out the community. She was a tireless organizer, volunteer, Republican precinct captain, public servant, and a mentor to many, including myself. Mary helped me get my start in Republican politics and I shall sways be grateful. Love and prayers to you and your family, Corinne Wood

I am very sorry to learn of Mary's passing. She took me under her wing when I moved to Lake Forest and got me immediately involved in the LF/LB Woman's Republican Club - later serving on the Board and traveling with Mary to New Orleans for a Convention. . We had a wonderful time that weekend and it was clear she was a leader and admired by many. She will always be remembered as a loyal and enthusiastic and proud Republican volunteer and servant. God Bless Mary. RIP
