I am so sad to hear about the passing of Mary. I met her years ago through mutual friends in Lowell. I remember her as one of the most genuine and friendly people I've ever met. I feel lucky to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Mary's family and friends during this extremely difficult time.
