Words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling over the loss of my little sister, Mary. I will miss her so much but am a bit comforted by the fact that I know she is in a better place for her. Love you, Mary, and watch out for all of us left behind.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Mary. We were good friends and tennis partners back in the day. We also were soccer moms together for 10 plus years. She will surely b missed by family and friends. RIP Mary until we meet again
