While going back through some old Drama Club records I was reminded of the time Mary took Cathy, Becky Stiles, Elizabeth Rice and Lisa Chauvin to NYC to see Annie and Sly Fox. Fond memories.

Once upon a time, she gifted me a lamb for a pet. Lambchop, of course. She
was a friend for life. (most of it) My prayers go out to her family.

Mary was the first friend I met when we moved to Milan. We hit it off at once. When ever I came back to visit she was the first one I saw and we alway went to lunch at Jim's. Even tho we were so far apart we always had each other in our thoughts. Many prayers for you Vern. I love you both. Barbara Zeck, Arizona

My 5 years working with Mary at the Milan Village Utility Office are some that I think fondly of. Mary opened my eyes to the ways of the world. She was someone that I really looked up to.
