To Mary's daughters and family, We were saddened to hear of Mary's passing. My mom and Dad were very good friends with your mom and Dad. We remember Mary as a bright shining light of generousity and humanity. She could light up a room with her personality and great sense of humor. We'll never forget the joyous parties on Belden road. They were true celebrations of neighborhood friendship. We will always smile when we think of her. Bless you all.
