I have a few memories to share.
- When my car battery died after a meeting at TVFR, Mary stayed with me till help arrived. As it turned out, a couple of firemen pulled into the parking lot and got my car started. Mary was so considerate and offered to follow me home.
- When discussing issues at The Beat Goes On board meetings, May always had another perspective to offer because of her background as a college dean. She came up with suggestions & ideas we would have missed.
- And lastly, whenever I talked with Mary, she was always so positive (even when it was so much easier to be negative). And when she talked about her adventures with Ross, I could see that she & Ross got so much joy out of life. That joy is what I'll remember most about Mary.
Mary's smile and love for all made me smile every time I was in her presence. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed by so many. Prayers to Ross and all of their family, as well as prayers to all who loved Mary.
Mary was one of my best friends of 60 years. Such wonderful memories of Crawford School, Girl Scouts, MYF and choir at the Methodist Church, long talks walking to Bolich together (and yes, it was a mile!), short talks walking to CFHS, and all the activities we shared and have continued to share over all these years. She will be missed!
Thoughts and prayers to Ross and her family.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Mary & I were in high school band together and shared many wonderful times. My condolences to all who knew and loved Mary.
Mary made everyone she met feel special.
She will be missed, but never be forgotten!
She will always be Ross's Mary to us.
Our hearts go out to Ross and her extended family.
May they find "peace" through the comfort of those that loved her.
God's blessings,
Barb and David Topham
