I taught with Mary for many years at Holy Cross, and she was my son´s preschool teacher there as well. Mary was the kindest, sweetest person and teacher! She was such a caring mentor to me when I started my teaching career... I learned so much from her! I can still hear her little ones singing "Good Monday , Good Monday, Good Monday to you..." across the hall! Sending so much sympathy to Don and the whole family... heaven welcomed a beautiful angel and earth is less because of it! Rest in peace, dear Mary!
