To Mary's Friends,
 Mary passed away, quietly in her sleep, with her companion Ellen at her side.  Mom  returned to her home in Syracuse from a trip to Long Island just hours before passing.  Mary and Ellen spent five days with her three-year-old cherished great-granddaughter and us.  We know she was happy.
The private ceremony at West Point, NY was brief but very elegant.  There was a full dress Honor Guard to carry the casket and a Colonel present to represent the US Army.  The base Chaplin gave a short eulogy and the Lord's Prayer and it was over.  Mom is now with Dad and her family forever. 
Our family wishes to thank all of her many friends and family members who expressed their sincere grief for our loss.  We would also like to thank the Farone family and their staff for the extraordinary personal and professional attention that was afforded Mary and her family.
Thank you, Mom for all you did for all of us.

Mary was a very sweet person and loved to go on our casino trips with her friend Ellen.  We will miss her.

I have known Mary since I was 10 years old when she and my mother became coworkers and best friends.  She was part of our family and loved by all of us.  Mary was there for all the important events in our lives and she celebrated them with our family.  She was always happy, cheerful and laughing!  She would bring us home baked goodies that had a piece taken out because she had to make sure it tasted good before giving it!  We all love her and we will surely miss her.

Mary was such a warm and vibrant person that she was like part of the family. She was always kind and never thought ill of anyone. She was a spark of positive energy in this world and we all loved her. 
She was pretty funny too - once, when she, my mother and I were in Weight Watchers, she would talk incessantly about chocolate cake, and confess during a meeting that she had indulged in a couple of slices. And then she'd lose more weight than any of us that week! She certainly kept us smiling and laughing. 
We'll all miss her sweet and lively personality, her big smile and her kind heart.

I am so sorry to hear that Mary has died. I worked with her for almost fifteen years at Syracuse University Library, and although I have not seen her as much since we both retired, I still hold a special place in my heart for those years and the times we shared. Please accept my sincere condolences. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss....We extend our deepest condolences to her family.

Mary was such a cheery lady. Best wishes to all her family.
