Mary, you were an incredibly great lady. I will always remember your laughter during our working days at catering. May you rest in peace.

With my most sincere condolences. As another former Schmidt employee I saw what a fine person and great character Mary was. My late wife, Deb Moray and dear friend Carolyn Parks would be invited to Mary's house for lunch. When Deb got home she raved about what they had to eat. Mary would share her recipe Deb and from this I also learned what a fantastic cook Mary was.
