So sorry to hear of the passing of this always fondly remembered empathetic woman who would, among other tasks, be a receptionist and assist her husband Rino at their hair salon where I worked.
My heartfelt condolences to all the family and friends.

Rino, Rina, Liana, John and all your families- I am grieved to hear that Mary had died, and wish that I could be there in person to offer a hug and my condolences. Mary was warm and kind. Her laugh was so lovely that I found myself wanting to say things to bring it out. I know that we weren't together much, but I am grateful for the time we did spend together. Much love to you all
