Mary was my big sister, and I will miss her and think about her every day for the rest of my life. She was a friend, a mentor, and I wanted to have more time to enjoy and appreciate her. We are fortunate to have had her among us as long as she was.

I just herd about Mary, and although you had told me she was ill, I am in shock.

God bless you all.

I join in your sadness at the loss of someone who touched so many of our young lives through piano lessons. I have vivid memories of Mary picking me up at school for lessons at your home. We are thankful for having been able to share in her gifts. All blessings to you, Don, and your family.
