I met Mary, but as I grew to know her, I heard so many great things about Pam, Chip and the girls along with her other children. She lit up as she told me about them. She was so proud of them all. I still miss her, as I talked with her often. There will never be another Mary. She left too soon. Rest in peace Mary......

I worked for Mary in her home as a handyman. She loved to work with me and was proud of her own tool collection. Her father was quite handy and she told storys of her earlier life. I started working for Mary but soon I knew I had a friend that I would remember for the rest of my life. Mary was special and always made you feel that you were special in her life. I do miss her as I would miss any of my family. I don't think I had this kind of bond or friendship with any other customer.

Dear PJ, Stephen, Pam, and Scout,
We wanted to extend our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother. After Pam's call we went immediately to our wedding album and found a picture of Mary wearing her signature smile and looking as striking as always! Her warmth was a gift. We know she felt blessed to have four beautiful children and loved the time she spent with your families. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. Find comfort in the memories you made together. Sending our love. xoxo

I am a Volunteer for Old Colony Hospice. I was only able to visit Mary once before she passed away. She was asleep when I arrived so I sat next to her bad and provided her compassionate care while she slept. I had hoped she would wake up so we could talk but she slept during my entire visit. My thoughts are with her family and friends during this very sad time. Fond memories of her will live on in those who knew and loved her. I wish I could have spent more time with her and gotten to know her. May she rest in peace.

I will always remember Auntie Mary as such a warm, welcoming and elegant woman. I enjoyed speaking with her a couple of months ago and it was as if nothing had changed. I will truly miss her. Many condolences to my cousins .
Much love, Suzie
