Dear Frank Burke and Family and brother Carlton (Harvey) Harveson,
I recently found out about Mary's passing. I had sent emails and received no responses and knew something must be wrong. I was devastated to find out Mary had passed from cancer.
Mary and I had become friends when we met in sixth grade and only knew each other for three months before her family moved to MD. Our friendship followed through different states and at times lost contact but never lost the strength of our friendship.
Just several years ago, I was able to catch up with her again and it was a very emotional reunion. Now I've lost my dear friend again. I will always remember the love and friendship we had for each other. I know you are an Angel in heaven Mary. Keep watch over your loved ones.
With my very deepest sympathy, Theresa (Terry Klimkowski) Shirey

Mary, you will always be in my heart. We shared 65 years together and I could not be more proud to call you my big sister.
I love you more than words can express and will miss our weekly calls. Shine bright amongst the stars!
Your very loving sister,
Carol Gensler
