Mary had a very keen sense of style and sophistication.  She found beauty in all around her. Mom was a force of life for all of us. She had a great impact and influence in all our lives. She was an eternal giver and offered help to those around her in need. She was optimistic, tenacious, feisty, energetic, passionate and compassionate.
