Not sure what to say?

Our hearts goes out to you and your family. You are in our prayers and we are here if you need us.

I am so sorry to hear that Mary has left us so soon. She and I worked together for more than 5 years, and I really knew her to be a good friend and colleague. I am sorry that she did not get more time to enjoy her retirement. My sincerest sympathies for her family.

May God be with you during this difficult time.

Even though Mary could be comical, at times, she was rather quiet, reserved, respectable, and did not involve herself in non-sensical situations.
