I used to work with Mary at MetLife and was always amazed at the amount of knowledge she possessed! She said that being raised on a farm taught you a lot about life and she loved to teach us "city girls" new lessons!!! I join you in celebrating her life. - Nancy Cook

I was very sorry to hear Tuesday that Mary had died and I send my heartfelt condolences to all her family. The level of care she gave to the other residence in the Caritas house was amazing. I loved going there on Tuesday mornings and seeing her leading the Rosary. She (my altar girl) would help me decorate the altar with flowers for our mass, helped the ladies with responces to the prayers, and helped me clean up after. That is when we would have some very nie conversations about life, God, Mary but mostly her family. I also knew I would get a big smile on Sunday mornings at mass. I loved that! We had some great conversations about her family and I know she cared deeply for all. Her thoughs were never far from you. My prayers are with you and for her. She was truely a servant to others and servant to God and I know He has a special place for her in heaven, probably ringing a bell.

I am sorry I will be out of town Thursday on. Be assured my prayers will be with you all at this time.
