Condolences to her family
November 18, 2019
Mary became an inspiration to me after our nineteen year old son was killed by a drunk driver on Thanksgiving evening, 1984. She offered support and comfort. My husband and I volunteered for MADD and worked with her for many years. I have never known anyone more devoted to her cause. Thank you, Mary, for being such a loving mother and for creating this wonderful cause.

Although I didn't know her, I remember her for being a huge impact on MADD. May she Rest In Peace and bless her for the awareness of drunk driving. I was involved in SADD in high school from 85 to 88.
