I have wonderful memories of Mary. I spent much time as a kindergarten teacher at Volmer School sitting and talking to Mary in the office after classes. She was my mentor for many life situations at that early phase of professional development and social interactions. A second advice mom. Never forgot those good times.
Our condolences to the family for your loss of such a lovely lady. It was a pleasure to have known her.
