I just learned of her death yesterday and I want to express my deepest condolences. She was a wonderful person and the cousin I was closest to. I will never forget the last time we saw each other in San Francisco.
Much love, Emma McSweeney Bloebaum and David Bloebaum

Mary was a true Dominican lady - classy and beautiful and smart! She was a wonderful mom and cared so much for her children and their friends. Her kindness is a legacy passed on to Ileen - she will be missed
