I am so sorry for the loss to the family, in a way she was like a second mom to me. She was always there with a smile or if I needed to talk growing up. She will be sadly missed. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary, I was just talking about how sweet of a woman you were to me growing up. I loved volunteering with you at HVRS and working with you at VHS in the clinic when I was in high school. You were such a great role model. I enjoyed our talks and your mentorship to me.. Rest in peace beautiful soul. Sharon Dalton
