Mary was the baby, not supposed to go first. She had just become a grandma. Her siblings always viewed her as the one most in need of our support. Until we realized in her absence just how damn strong she had been the whole time.

I grew up with Mary, in Buffalo. Knew her whole family, they lived three doors down from my Grandma Huff.
Mary was an incredible person.
Our group hung out all the time, usually in my basement!, going to movies, roller skating in Sheridan, going on speech meets, dragging Main, going to things up at school or being involved with plays or choir. We were a close-knit group and we cared a great deal for one another. Mary was a beautiful soul who loved being around all her friends and family, and her animals. I am so very glad that, when I moved back to Wyo, she and I reconnected; our conversation seemed to easily pick up as though we had seen each just the week before. We even spent time, last Summer, up in Buffalo going around to all our old haunts, it was a wonderful day.
All of us, in our little group, were devastated when she had died; I had text messages from her and she somehow knew she wasn´t going to make it. It was a big blow for us, she was one of our "family".
She has been missed by me and all of our friends. Mary had her struggles in Life, like we all have, but she rose above them the best she knew how. Those she met along her Life path have always been glad to know her and have her in their Life. RIP Mary

I worked for several years with Mary and loved my time with her. She was passionate and dedicated to her work. She loved her children to the end of the universe and back and was a beautiful soul.

You don't know me and I didn't know Mary, but this came up today in my Google news alerts, and I decided to read the story. I just want you to know that I was deeply touched by her devotion to her sister, seniors, and pets. I am so sorry for your loss, especially to this horrible pandemic.
