Shane and Bree, Our family sends their condolences to you and your family. Your Mom was a kind, wonderful person and we feel very fortunate to have known her. She is with Jimmy now, but will forever be with us in our memories.

I met Mary at Vose School when I was volunteering in the library. I remember her friendliness and warm smile. She would frequently talk about Bree and Shane; she was a very proud mom. I am sure alot of happy memories will be shared at the gathering this afternoon. My sympathy goes out to you Bree and Shane, and to her grandchildren. <3

Dear Bree and Shane, Our condolences to you and yours. Mary was a dear, sweet, creative lady. Full of fun and eager to share with others. Jim was amazing, such energy and humor. Absolutely my favorite coach as an umpire! He was a special colleague to Irene at BHS. Ben and Matthew looked up to him, lucky to have the opportunity to be touched by his wit and gentle ways. With love, Ben, Matt, Irene and Rollie Ruehlman

Hi Bree and Shane,
I am so very, very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Steph told us and then we saw the paper the next day. It is very hard to believe. She was such a super person and I loved her dearly. I miss your Dad greatly and I will miss your Mom as well. Take very good care of one another. You are in my heart and prayers every day. We hope to see you both on Sunday.
Love,
Richard and Susan Mace

Bree, Shane & Family,
Our hearts & prayers go out to you. So sorry for your loss.
Your Mom was a sweet lady to everyone, as was your Dad.
I'm sure they're dancing with the angels.
RIP, Mary.

Your mom was such a dear person to everyone. She was a dear bunco friend for so many years and we had so many laughs together. She was also a dear friend to my mom Hilda Schoen and she used to go see mom at her antique shop in Raleigh Hills. Thanks for the fond memories Mary and we all will play bunco again in heaven. Say "hi" to Mom for me and you will always be on my heart. Bree & Shane you were so fortunate to have such beautiful parents. My prayers are with you and your family.

Bree and Shane, Your Mom was so much fun to be around.
Jimmy is saying "Saw-De-Ba" in heaven as Mary Jane is finally with him again! Your parents loved both of you so much.
I will see you on Sunday afternoon. Love, Beth Lynn

To Mary's family, I am Ruth McNamara and I was the Supervisor at Harman Swim Center where Mary spent many hours while her children swam there. She was one of my very favorite mothers. One day she came in and brought me a cute bathroom radio which I still have today. She was a wonderful lady and always so kind to others. I will never forget her. Ruth McNamara

So sorry to the family for your loss. I remember Mary from my youth and have not seen her for many years. We met while working at The Taco House (then on SE McLoughlin, in Portland). She was always so much fun, so quick to laugh. And so artistic and creative. I remember one time when she wanted to make some large crepe paper, colorful flowers that my mom made and came by to learn how one Saturday afternoon so impromptu. She so loved crafts (and this was when we were teenagers). Years later...
