March 27, 2021 at 8:21 amI do not even know where to start Mary was an amazing person, friend, and teacher. I was blessed to not only have her as a teacher and a colleague but a friend. Her kindness and thoughtfulness has touched so many people in so many ways. There was so many times Mary and Tony made sure so many didn’t go without during the holidays, back to school, etc. Heaven has definitely gained an angel and she will be deeply missed.
