I'm sending this message because my mom, Virginia Cross, and Mary were classmates, friends and sorority sisters.I just got off the phone with my mom (who does not use a computer), and she told me about Mary and what a wonderful friendship they had.

Condolences to Mary's family. She was a respected role model to those of us who followed her at Wayne State University College of Pharmacy. She will be remembered as a pioneer spirit for the career of Pharmacy and a constant supporter of LKS.

I had the pleasure to meet Ms. Kalinski as she and Jane Rogan spent many trips and hours researching and logging information for the PharmMuseum at WSU's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. She was a very pleasant and sweet spirit. I offer my sincere sympathy to her family and friends.

I was Mary's letter carrier for about seven years. She was such a sweet lady.
When I found out that she was a pharmacist, I told her that my Dad was a pharmaceutical salesman. We became fast friends! She will be missed.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mary for many years. We were both long term Crittenton employees. I thought the world of her. I am so happy that I had recently run in to her. We had a nice talk and shared a hyg. I will miss her. She was a wonderful lady. Rose Mullen

I had the pleasure of working under the direction of Mary Kalinski at Crittenton hospital after I graduated from OCC's Hospital Pharmacy Technology program in 1990. I was a CPhT there from 4 /1990 -11/1999. Miss Kalinski was a kind sweet woman who was very dedicated to her profession and her pharmacy staff. I am very saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family during this difficult time.
