To the Families of Mary: So shocked this weekend to hear of Mary's passing. My deepest condolences to you all. I had the pleasure of working with Mary for several years at Hinshaw. Her upbeat personality and sense of humor got a lot of us through some stressful times. Her department was near my desk and I would walk over to her just for a "Mary Fix" and a piece of candy which was always available on her desk. She was one in a million. Hoping you're all coping as best you can under the circumstances.
