Hank, I´m so sorry to learn about Mary´s passing; she was a lady who made you smile with her sense of humor and her outgoing approach to living life helped all of us enjoy life more and her faith was contagious .

Mary was with me when my first child was born. She was warm and funny and caring. Although I had known her since high school, this was when I really appreciated what a special person she was. Hank, I'm so sorry for your loss. There are no words. But I know your love will endure.

I remember working with Mary Ann at school functions when our children were in grade school. She was always a very caring person. Have not seen her in years but have very good memories of her and Hank.

Hank, I remember Mary as a sophisticated lady whose favorite topics were her family and travel.
May God´s hand strengthen you during this time of sorrow. Such a loss.
