We were sorry to learn of Mary’s passing. Our prayers for the whole family.
Mike, Patrick & Kate, and Mary’s entire family you have my sympathy! Mary was certainly a trooper who fought the cancer battle a good portion of her life. Through it all she never had to fight alone because Mike was by her side every step of the way. So was Patrick, Kate and her entire family and all should be commended for their encouragement. As one of the Magdalen Girls she will be missed for her loving, caring, generous friendship, her great laughter and her living by example! We will miss you Mary but you have paved the way for the Magdalen Girls to gather in Heaven!
Prayers for Mary and all of the family…she was such a sweet lady! God rest her soul in peace.
We followed Mary’s journey through her sister Jane Lehmann and will always admire her courage and grace. May she Rest In Peace. Our prayers to all her family and friends.
Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my prayers and condolences.
Your long time friend,
Howard
I was saddened to read of Mary’s passing, and to learn of the prior loss of her brother Mark. My parents were Ann & Charles Davis, who were lifelong friends of THEIR parents, Lois and ‘Bud’. I haven’t been in contact for many years, but would like the family to know that I hold you in my prayers as you walk through the difficult days ahead.
I am so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I went to grade school with her and my mother used to babysit for Mary and her siblings. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Mary’s strength and courage over the years is an example for us all. I always enjoyed her sharp wit and great sense of humor.
