I last saw Mary, Steve & the family at a Cub game about 5 years ago. They were all done up in their Cubby Blues. A great way to remember the beautiful person that Mary was.

Mary and I attended Rockford College at the same time. She was always the prettiest & most popular girl. I looked-up to her so much. Mary was the total package - beauty & brains. My heart goes out to Steve and her entire family during this difficult time. Rest well, Mary. Always remembered.
