Karl,

I was saddened to hear about your mom's passing. She was always incredibly supportive of everyone who worked at Irving School. I have such fond memories of her. She offered her wise suggestions and careful observations to me and I always knew she had the best interests of the Irving family in her heart. I am sorry I couldn't be there for her funeral, but she will always have a special place in my heart.
With sincere sympathy,

Dear Karl,

God Bless!
Not only was your mom a great secretary but a great person.She put us on to Plummerville, Maine which still gives our family many weeks of summer enjoyment. We lost contact with her but we thought of her often.

Dear Karl,

Everyone at Irving adored your mom. She was like a mom to all of us. She was so warm and giving of her time, talent and advice. She was loved by everyone at Irving and basically ran the whole place!! I currently have the desk that she had in the office and I treasure it. Mary was one of a kind. I am so sorry that I cannot be at the wake or funeral, but it is the first day of the school year. My deepest sympathies to you.
Warmly,
Sheila Bell

Dear Karl
I knew your mother from Irving School. She loved children and was a true professional in her job. I was very fortunate to work with her when I was a member of the Highland Park Board of Education but more so as a mother of three children who went through Irving School. She was a wonderful woman with love for all and especially for you.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
