    Mary was a special person, and added so much to this world by her wisdom and dedication. She was a wonderful friend-and I will miss her great insights and humor. She greatly loved her family, and seemed to delight in the times they all spent together. My deepest sympathy to the whole family- please know she was very valued by her friends, co-workers, and all who knew her.
