To Mary's family,
I am so sorry to hear about Mary's passing. I worked with Mary many years ago at Suburban Market. Mary was a kind and sweet women. I really enjoyed knowing her. We had many wonderful times, both at work and outside of work. I moved from Delaware County many years ago. I would come back often and would meet up with Mary and other mutual friends. It has been several years since I have seen Mary, but kept in touch through Pat and Mary Ann how she was doing, what she was up to, including her recent decline in health. Mary was a very special person and will always have a place in my heart along with the memories of the time we spent together. Please accept my sympanthy. Your family is in my prayers.
