I'll always remember Mary as an energetic and hardworking woman. She was full of life and a pleasure to be around. A large part of my youth was spent with Mary. I will never forgot her. Mary and I would always laugh and joke with one another. Her nickname for me was "Nurse Goodbody", which always made me smile when she said it. She will be missed on this earth but I look forward to seeing her in eternity. My prayers to Kelly, Kent, and Alan.
