During the decades I have known Mary she assisted me more times than I can remember and was someone I counted on because she was so knowledgable. She was a blessing to countless people and was such a beautiful person inside and outside that it is beyond comprehension that she is gone at such an early age. She will leave a huge gap but will be remembered with great fondness by all who knew her.
