To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Mary personally but know her husband Phil and it was evident by his words that she was a very special lady. Mary will be obviously greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with her extended family.

I am very sorry for your loss. Mary and I were friends in high school. The last time I saw her was at an ASU vs. U of A football game. She will be greatly missed.
