I am so sorry to hear that Mary has passed. She was such a wonderful woman. I had the pleasure of knowing her through my years working at Elmhurst. She believed in keeping fit, joining in at exercise class and walking on the treadmill nearly every day! Her faith was strong and her love for her family immense! I will miss her. I’m sorry I missed her life celebration as I was out of town. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
