Not sure what to say?

This 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

Mary was always so sweet and always a good friend. May she Rest In Peace on a beautiful beach somewhere. Will miss your wonderful posts. Always brought a smile to my face.

You will be missed

Mary...
Until we are reunited again, I will always keep close and cherish the memories of our lifelong friendship.
Sending you love and eternal hugs.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Fly high with the angels, Mary. May you rest in the sweetest of peace

You always responded to my posts on Facebook in a positive manner and always gave a like or smile I’m sure I’m sure you will be greatly missed by your Friends and family rest in peace Mary

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........
