Mary was such a wonderful person. It is hard to believe we won't see her in Mass on Saturday evenings but she will always be there in spirit.

Mary was a gem. Her kind and loving spirit bought similes to the staff at Springbrook nature center each time she would pass through the door. We will miss her, and all the fun loving joy she brought each and every time she volunteerd.

Mary was such an upbeat lady. All you had to do was say, Hi, Mary, How are you doing? and she would take it from there. She would have you laughing in no time and she could strike up a conversation about anything and everything. She was just so friendly and a caring, thoughtful, and kind person. I can't image one person not enjoying having Mary around to liven things up. She always had such a big, bright smile. She loved to laugh. She certainly had a special way to brighten everyone's day. ...
