    I’m so saddened to hear that we have lost such a great lady! I met Mary while working with Frank at the VA Medical Center. She was such a sweet person. Mary also came to the Bank on occasion and always came to see me. We would talk about Frank and her grandchildren. How she loved them. I’ll miss our chats and her laughter. She’ll be greatly missed by all.

    Teresa and Family, Our deepest sympathy, We enjoyed being with Mary each and every time we met. She was a gentle soul. Pete had enjoyed their association in the Unit 2 Office for many years. Please forgive the tardiness of the note as I have been a bit disposed.
