So sorry we can't make the funeral this week. Haven't seen Mary since John and Mary Sgrois 50th and enjoyed a short visit then. Always enjoyed seeing them (John Delia) at Jennie Pritchards gatherings. Bob and Mary Schoonmaker

I met Mary when I first started volunteering at PACE. I'm her nail polisher! She loved the darker colors on her nails. We hit it off right away and talked about our families, we exchanged books, and laughed a lot. She is such a wonderful person. As I looked at the photo album, it made me wish I had known her in her younger days. I will truly miss her.
