Read MoreThis took my breath away. Was shocked to hear this news. In Rutherford we lived just a few houses apart. I have so many memories growing up in Rutherford with her, good times, lots of laughs. I will miss her posts on FB, her love of cats, the ocean and nature. Such a beautiful soul....May you rest in Peace

I met Mary in 1968 , my sister Lucille , and three friends including Mary rented a house at the shore for graduation and took me along .. I was 12 and during those days I bonded with Mary , she was so cool and thoughtful with me she made me feel so part of everything and “grown up” i I never forgot that trip and reminded Mary of it when we became FB friends , I always felt close with our FB back and firths , and we had a lot in common ! We just had FB back and forth 4 days ago , I’m so sorry...

Time and distance doesn't change the thought that you will be missed, Mary. 55+ years is a long time to be friends and we did have a lot of fun back then. Bless you, my old friend, have a peaceful journey........
