I'm so very sorry to learn of Mary's death. She always struck me as the calming, serene voice that we all crave when things are out of sync in our own lives.
She made a real difference in the lives of those around her--and she'll be missed. My thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with you all.

Mary always had a smile that was contagious. Teresa and Greg both have that spirit. It showed all through the school years with Greg and Teresa. Her compassion for life was visible in everything she did. She could make you smile and feel so loved and cared for. If you knew Mary you felt like a part of her family. She was the same caring person each time you saw her. Our thoughts and prayers will be with everyone as you travel and go through this difficult time.
