Dear sweet Mary, She took me under her wing when my mother,Kate Johnson, died and helped me disperse of cherished belongings in an organized and timely manner. What would I have done without her...In between we shared pictures of our families, the birthday party her boys gave her, my mother's 90th that my brother and I gave, we talked about cats and she gave me a book on cats. I just connected with her at a time when I needed someone like her in my life. I'm so sorry to hear belatedly that she has left us. I will always remember that in that sad moment of my life she was there to perk me up. However, short the friendship was, I won't forget her. My best to her family.....Roberta Johnson Bonwit

Mary was the sweetest, kindest woman ever. Just her smile was enough to brighten the day. She will surely be missed, but we can find peace and rejoice in the fact that she now sores with the angels. Our prayers & thoughts are with her family.
