I only just Mary in December when I joined the Encore club. I loved her quiet leading of exercise classes - always the same routine, no commentary but adjusted to the age of the group and an all round work out. Her inspiration to initiate this Club has been a gift to many "Seniors" and helping to keep us all young at heart. I am so sorry that she has left us and know she will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to her family.
It was with shock & so much sadness that we learned of Mary's passing. She touched the lives of so many and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Brian, and all of your and Mary's family. sincerely Bryan & Roberta
