On behalf of my family, extending sincere condolences to Willie, Billy, Annmarie, Brendan and James, and also to their families. I was lucky enough to have Mary as a big part of my life and as one of my very best friends. Her kindness knew no bounds. I remember well when my first daughter was due, we were in the process of moving from our apartment to our first house when labor struck. Not only did Mary and my sister-in-law help move our belongings to our new home but they also unpacked so that when I returned home I had only to take care of the baby . She was very giving of her time. On another occasion when we got water in our basement Mary rushed to help in every way she could. We had great fun doing our gigs (banquet waitressing) at various Country Clubs on the odd weekend. Mary would drive the Chicago girls to whatever venue we were assigned. When one of the bosses saw us arrive he would say we could all go home except for Mary because she could do the work of ten of us. I will always hold dear the great memories of my friend Mary from our days at Rainbow beach to the nights at the dances, our Uno club group to our vacations at Shafer Lake. Rest in peace my friend forever, until we meet again.
