Not sure what to say?

Mary and I were friends for many years. We marched together for many Peace Missions. We stood outside Boeing during the nuclear arms race protesting nucs being moved by trains. We meet during the sanctuary movements. We were about human rights. This month I marched in the Women's March here in St.Petersburg Florida along with 30 thousand other people. I thought of Mary as I marched. A true warrior. We will never know how many lives she touched. Peace be with you Mary...and to all...

Bob and I send you our love, as we think of Mary and your family, and our years of friendship. Mary has been a mentor/role model for me since I met her when I was Brigid's and Patrick's teacher at St. Michael's in Mulvane in '65-67. Very formative years in my life.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. A truly valiant and magnificent mentor and model for the peace and justice community. while we mourn her passing we are grateful for her life shared with so many. Thank you to her family and my sincere sympathy,

We are so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for the loss experienced by Mary's family and friends. She was a great person as well as a great citizen of the world. I will remember her strong spirituality, how it gave birth to strong commitments to peace and justice, and how she balanced it with wit and simple acts of kindness. You, her family, have much to be proud of. Thanks for sharing her with the rest of us.73c
