An"Miss Mary" My survivor sister....our fight was hard, and for a while we were winning. I will miss your encouraging words and your love and prayers. You know, they always helped me. Breakfast and our lap together along with the doves this year was special. How do I go on without your support? Oh, yeah. I know, you will be on my shoulder for the rest of my life, pushing me forward and saying "go Nancy, you can do this!" I will miss you always and think about you everyday. Save a place for me, as someday I will be there too. And, don't forget the burrito and Pepsi! I LOVE YOU! Rest well, it doesn't hurt anymore,,,,,,,,

Jess, David, Gina and Marissa you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know the depth pf your sorrow. Mary was a Warrior and she fought a good fight. I am grateful knowing she rest rests in the arms of the Lord in peace with no pain. I will miss her laugh and sense of humor and being dancing partners at functions. I will miss her because I loved her. I know that one day we will be reunited and we will dance and laugh again. My love to all of you

I first met Mary Ochoa in in 1982 as a bus driver, and to me; Mary was a professional and caring bus driver as any person can be, but at the same time she appreciated a good clean or corny joke from me all the time. On the day she retired, Mary was asked why she didn't work her way up to Bus Trainer, supervised etc. And her response was, " I enjoy driving the students more than anything else." I must say that the thing that impressed me the very most about Mary is her reverence for God, Christ Jesus, she was never to busy to stop and share a prayer, not for just herself but for others as well; here is a verse that i feel applies to Mary Ochoa, (Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.) I hope everyone that knew Mary, looks forward to being with her forever again by receiving gods free gift of eternal life through his son Jesus Christ as she has done.

Mary,
You were my favorite fun bus-driver for the Calabasas/Freedom area back in 83-89 and were always super nice and fun. May you rest peacefully with the Lord now.

Until I ride the heavenly bus with and see you again.
