Dear Larry, Nancy and John,
I shall miss your mother. I considered her a dear friend besides a nice neighbor . Irish music on Sunday mornings will always remind me of her. I will miss her humor and spirituality.

My heart goes out to Mary's family and their loss. I knew her in the early 70's at UAlbany, renewed again in the 80's, and absolutely loved her spunky spirit and gentle ways. Such a great lady! We all have been so blessed. I cherish my fond memories.
