So sorry for your loss.
Condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of Mary. A caring and outgoing classmate. New Cambria Class of 1966.
I had the privilege of knowing Mary for many years at Saint Lukes She was the soul of the Finance department and could always find the answer to any question or the right person to answer any question concerning financial operations in Saint Luke’s hospital and Saint Luke’s health system. There are not enough adjectives to describe her wonderful demeanor and ability to provide compassionate care when confronted by anyone with a financial dispute or any dispute for that matter. Since there are not enough ways to say that she will be missed, it is with the absolute surety that Mary was one of those individuals that truly blessed my life.
Dear Matt and Kelly,
I can’t believe I didn’t see this before now! I’m so sorry to hear that your Mom passed away!! She and I had so much fun back in the day! We went through your horrible accident, Matt, together. She was a beautiful person and tho life of the party! Great pool player! We lost touch after she married Robin. That’s the last time I spoke to her was after Robin’s passing.
I’m truly sorry I didn’t see this before now! I would’ve been there, for sure!
My best regards to all of you!
Karen
