Diane, Joanne, and Gina; I heard the news about your mother. She was one of my favorite people. It started back when I got my first paying job at the Marina on Greenwood Lake. I loved working for your mom. Mary was supportive when my parents passed away. A gracious hostess, she brought her wonderful food and pleasant smile. Her homemade pizza and her light meatballs ("they float in the air", her secret recipe) were the very best. I have wonderful memories of her.

Diane, Joanne and Gina,
Your mom was one of the most special people I've ever known. Her days at Good Samaritan as a volunteer were some of my best days. She brought joy to all who knew her. She and our friend, Ida, made my experience as Volunteer Director a joy. I so looked forward to Mary and Ida walking down that hallway towards my office. They are days I will never forget. I miss her so. May your sadness be lifted by the joy of your memories of her.

Again, Ray and I are so sorry for your loss.
Alberta Conklin

Tom,Diane,Joanne and Gina,

We were so sorry to learn of Mary's passing. She was a great friend and neighbor and I will always remember our first boat that she "sold", but I really think she gave us. That was the kind of person she was. Our prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

WE were so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. As one of the many teenager back in the 60's, she was all of our moms. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Mary will always be Christmas Corners, special eggnog at caroling time, her presence at 7 am mass and her smiles at the first of May.

She was a beautiful and feisty lady. I will miss hearing about her from Gina.

Think about her with happy memories.

We were very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I still remember many good times years ago and I'm glad we got to visit with her this past June. She was still as sharp and feisty as I remembered her and I know she touched the lives of many who will miss her dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
