Mary was one of the sweetest ladies I´ve met and she will be missed. I met her working as a pharmacy tech at a local pharmacy. One day I offered to help her to the car and that created a friendship I will never forget. We would have phone calls and once we went for lunch. I´m truly saddened that our time together was shorted. Rest in heaven, Mary. - Alize, but known as Zae to Mary
