Not only was I employed by this amazing woman, I had the chance to be inspired by her wisdom, unselfishness, and uncommon humor. She taught me that life is going to be rough at times, but the way you respond to those situations that count. She would offer me a beverage, although I had no idea what I'd tell my husband when I got home, she'd tell me to tell him that I drank the mop water. Her positive attitude towards life will always keep me strong in times where it seems impossible. I will miss her, our conversations, and the true beauty in her. Her corky ways will greatly be missed as well, and anybody who had the pleasure of being surrounded by her knows what I'm talking about. Rest in Peace Miss Mary.. I love you and always will!
