‘I got to know Mary during the 12 years I worked with David. I always felt a New England connection with them. Mary always asked about my kids and was easy to have a conversation with, but the thing I remember most was her sense of humor. It would almost catch you off guard because you didn’t expect it. I know the last couple years were a rough road for Mary and hard on David. But the last time I saw her, which was after the hip injury, she was still making jokes. Just a really great human, a great family person, and much too soon to be gone.’
‘David and family, I am so very sorry for your loss of a wonderful Wife and Mother.
Mary and I were chidhood friends all the memories of us together laughing , riding our bikes and hanging out at the brook which we were told not to go to and always came home with our feet wet.
Then marriage and children came along and we were so happy to be parents!
I will always have our memories ….I love you Mary!
God bless you Mary!’
‘Dave and family,I am sorry for your loss. Healing prayers to you and your family. Lynn Fiedorowicz, Torrington CT’
