I was saddened to hear of Mary's passing. She was my direct supervisor at BU for several years and during that time we had so many funny times and shared laughs. Many of my favorite memories were of her at her home in Andover making a fire, fixing a tall drink of Cutty Sark and Soda and telling her amazing stories. She was a great lady and a kind friend and the world is better for her sharing her light with us.
