Please accept my sympathy in your loss. I considered it a privilege to have been one of Mary's doctors. She always showed so much courage and had a wonderful spirit. I know you will miss her, and I'm sure you have many good memories to sustain you during this difficult time.

I was sad to hear about the loss of Mrs. Mary. I always felt like part of her family when I shopped at the store on King Street and I will miss her bright smile. You are all in my prayers.
