Not sure what to say?

I worked with Mary at Reese and invited her to join an investment club with friends. I last saw her at a wake for her family member, perhaps her mother? I tried to reach her in California but couldn't find her; she was terrific but she didn't keep in touch. I'm glad she found a partner; I've been forever single as well and only a few years her junior.

I am so saddened to learn of Mary´s passing.. Mary was my neighbor at 1400 State and we became great friends.. We had many great evenings together sharing good food and wine & friendship.. Sadly these past years we have not kept in touch but her face and smile and kindness often pop up in my head.. I won´t forget her ever.. If there is ever a service here in the Chicago area I would love to attend.. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary´s family & friends.. She was such a special...

Loved being with Mary, usually at Sandy Bredine´s house in Indiana. We´d collaboratively cook up desserts and other dishes. She always had a sympathetic ear, a ready smile and laughter. Mary will be missed!

I just heard of mary`s passing I´m so sorry for your families loss. She was definitely a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine. I´ve been Mary´s hairstylist for many years and I will miss her friendship.

Our hearts,thoughts & prayers,go out to the O´Leary family! Mary was a beautiful person,inside & out! She was just so gracious! RIP, Mary! God Love You!
