I am so sorry to hear about Mary's passing. I worked with her for many years at 10th District PTA, through her serving as President twice, and enjoyed her company with the "lunch bunch". I remember her never ending energy, always running, caring for grandchildren, her humor, gentleness and poise and warmth. I have missed her these past few years. I am grateful that she has been in my life. There was no one else quite like her!
