Hi, Grant: Deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your beloved Mary. Bruce happened to see the notice in the Sun Times and alerted me. She couldn't have had a better husband or devoted caretaker than you, Grant. I am glad that she is at peace and that you will find a measure of peace also, knowing that you did absolutely everything you could to care for her. God bless! Marianne (Urhausen) Zolna

Grant I´m so sorry for your loss. Mary introduced me to a wonderful group of ladies at the Long Beach national model Railroad convention. I enjoyed the many times we got together. She will be missed. You are a good guy, the love and support you gave Mary is remarkable. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was sorry to read of the passing of Mary. I'm just one of a number of people who have met and worked with Mary. I considered her a friend even though we only met during her time as a Benjamin Moore rep. I worked with her about 15 years ago when I was the person who ordered paint at Village True Value in Western Springs. She was fun to work with and an excellant rep. I'm sorry she had health issues. Ill remember her always.

My memories of Mary will always be that of the kind and warm person she was. Everyone loved Mary because we could always count on her positive outlook and willingness to both lead and help out wherever needed.

Grant, I am certain that Mary is in a better place after battling so hard for so long. Rest in peace.

Sincerest regards

Having been part of the BM&CO family for
many years, I knew her mom, worked w/her
dad & enjoyed watching a wonderful young woman advance her career. It was a blessing to spend time w/Mary @ the BM&Co dinner. She fought the good fight with Grant at her side ~ now Mary is w/her parents & sister free of pain. Andrea
