I use to work as the receptionist at Rossmoor while Mary was there; she was so kind and so much fun as well. She is truly my earliest memory of what a mentor was to a young person that I was back then. My thoughts & prayers to her son & grandchildren – I remember when she first found out that she was expecting her son and how so very happy she was to be coming a Mother. May your laughter now ring down from Heaven’s gates, Mary. God Bless you.
