Always enjoyed visiting Ms. Mary at her flower shop through the years. She always treated me like one of her own!

I am a nurse at Heritage. She was quite special esp since we were both blessed with the same name. I was not a direct caregiver but I saw her quite often. Even though she was not verbally able to communicate she always had a smile. She will be missed.

Ms. Mary was very precious to me and my family. I don't honestly know what my mom would have done without her at Heritage. She was the best roommate we could have ever asked for, for our mother. May you rest in the arms of Jesus my sweet, dear friend. Mary Anne and family - I know you know what a gem she was... she was that and everything else to us...my mom's saving grace for those couple of years. May God give you the strength and comfort in the days, months and years ahead to help you...
