Liz and I were so sorry to learn about Mary. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I remember a social occasion in the Kinley home where Bill and Mary were their typical congenial hosts. Bill, I admire your interest in music which dates from childhood. My son, Drew, is now on a tenure track at Colorado State University School of Music, Theater and Dance. My condolences upon your loss of Mary.

Beautiful sentiments shared yesterday at the memorial - I had planned at attend in person but have Covid. The two musical tribute were also moving.

Sending my love and condolences on this devastating loss. You´re in my thoughts.

We were so sad to hear about Mary´s death, Bill, and you and your family are in our thoughts. Mary was exceptionally generous with her time for this community and will be remembered by so many.

Bill, Mary made such a difference in our communities. Every encounter with her was joyful and thoughtful--she naturally and generously connected people and projects, always to the benefit of everyone. A remarkable person. We will miss her.

In 1986 I started working for Bill out of their home. Mary Kinley welcomed me and treated me like family . Over the next 35 years her greeting to me and others was .." Hey how are you ?" . Only uncommon in that she really did want to know . She was to all sincere, kind , and genuine. For Bill and the entire family Mary was the rock and I am very sorry for his and their loss.

Bill and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She has definitely left her prints all over the Washtenaw community with her dedicated volunteerism and the many organizations and those they serve have been blessed to have her leadership and advocacy. Thoughts and prayers are with you and may you enjoy many happy memories in the years ahead.

Bill, our deepest condolences on the loss of your wonderful wife.
