Another year has gone by.  - five years now since your passing.  I think of you often.  You were loved by so many.

Miss you.  Hope your family is doing well.  Loved hearing about your family at work especially your mom. I know it has been four years now. You are still missed by many.  I put up a picture of you 8 months ago in our MAPS (Measure to Achieve Patient Safety) Office which you started in 2006.

As always, we are coming to the anniversary of your parting.  I sure miss you.  You were my mentor.  Things in the Nursing Admin Suite have changed. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.  I sure miss your presence.

God Bless you Mary,

I graduated with the same class as you at Canoga Park High School.  I can't say that I remember you but from what I've read about you I wish I did. My life would be richer for having known you indeed.  I'm going to say a prayer for you at mass tomorrow.

Love,

Gary Burnham

Son Roan and I are looking at your book today.  You gave him a cough drop many years ago when he was at my office.  He is now 13.  You were so kind to him. I miss you.

Petra and I are back sharing an office in Nursing Admin.  We have a sunflower calendar up on our wall.  It reminds us of you.  We talk about you often.  We miss you.  It has been over three years now.

Our office is really changing.  I miss you as my mentor.  You taught me so much.  Not just job stuff but life stuff.  I will never forget you.

I saw your family on the weekend.It was just for a few minutes but it was so exciting. Mary, you would be so proud.Your mom was so beautiful. I can not believe it is 2 years. I miss you but I know you are in a better place.

Can't believe it is almost two years.  Really miss you here in Nursing Admin Office.

Our Admin Nurse Suite Group thought about you on your birthday earlier this month.  We really miss you.  You were a very special person to all of us.

Growing up in the Erbeznik family, Mary was a big sister to me, my brother Glenn and many of us on Sausalito Ave. I was not aware of her passing until I randomly checked a few family names on this website. I am shocked and deeply saddened, Mary was the definition of selfless love and kindness. My heart aches for the entire Erbeznik family as well as our entire Sausalito family and all who knew her. Reading these notes I see Mary touched all who knew her in the same way. May God Bless Mary and all of the Erbezniks.

I can't believe that I just learned of this almost two years later.  I am so sad to know that she left so young.  Mary's faith surely served her well in such a trying time.  Everyone who knew her will always remember her as the kindest person that they ever met; so sweetly soft spoken but so strong.  My emotions run deep and my empathy for her family is true.  Rest in heaven my dear friend.

I miss you.  July 23rd is one year.  I still hear your voice. - May it never go away.  I am thinking of your family.  Your were such a gift.  And we all know that. Hugs,

I really miss you Mary.  Thinking of you on your birthday.  Hugs

Mary was truly a living angel and I have know her since I was a child,  We had so many memories and lots of laughs,  Mary will live on in my heart forever.  I was not aware of her passing even though I have continued think of her and the Erbeznik family all the time.  I love you Mary and heaven has gained a true angel. Nancy Klapow Westerman

I think of you often Mary and know you are near.  We talk about you often.  You touched so many people.  I am so blessed that I met you.

Mary was the kindness, person, I have ever, had in my life. She was the most beautiful person, inside and out. She will be truly missed and always, remain in my heart! Sympathy and blessings, to her family and friends. Love, you so much Mary and will miss, you even more, love, Darlene

You were with us today Mary.  We all miss your voice.  But we know you are near.  Watch over us Mary.

Mary was so lucky, she said so many times herself. She lived in grace and lives in our memories forever.

Mary was with me when I was taking care of my mom Aug 8th to Aug 11th.  Mary, you are my angle. I love you.

Mary was someone that would welcome a person to her office no matter how she might feel, she was fully focused on others. One of the things that I admired about Mary was that she constantly reaffirmed that she lived a blessed life. I am blessed having known her.

Mary was one of the most beautiful people I ever knew. She always smiled and her eyes sparkled. Mary showed so much love to all of us. She always listened,she was never too busy.But most important to me, Mary knew about the "Grace of God" and she lived her life that way.She was such a mentor and friend to me. I can not express how much I will miss Mary but I am thankful that I had the opportunity to call her my friend. My life has changed because of her.I hope that some of her grace and wisdom lives within me for as long as I live.

Mary was a wonderful, caring person who I will miss.  She was always so positive and genuinely wanted the best for people.  I am a better person for knowing her.

Mary was a angel I will miss her deeply  We love you all   Uncle Stan Aunt Nancy

Ann and family,

What beautiful pictures of California Erbeznik family. We treasure our visits to California and the stories our dad shared about 8th grade at St.Vitus, Cleveland Ohio with his tall, smart cousin Frank (Mary's dad). May we all meet

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

I am a better person for knowing you.

Mary is a true woman of faith. It was a priviledge to have known her. I am certain she is now enjoying beatific vision with the Lord. We have one more angel praying for us.  Malou Blanco Yarosh

Mary is a true woman of faith. It was a priviledge to have known her. I am certain she is now enjoying beatific vision with the Lord. We have one more angel praying for us.

Mary was a wonderful friend who had a special place in my heart.  She taught me so much about nursing, about life.  I will fondly remember experiences and conversations we shared.  Her imprint is permanent.

Mary's love for her work and the profession of nursing were so fierce - I loved to stop by her office and talk and share ..she will be a part of us all forever - my prayers are with her family and her colleagues who loved her so dearly.

I will miss Mary dearly. She was a dear friend. We had a lot of wonderful times to gether. She always smiled. When she laughed it came from her heart. I have her picture front and center at home from the beach! She was so passionate about her beliefs and always stuck to them. I am honored to have had her as a friend.

My mentor.  An amazing person. Always the sunflower.  She will be missed.  Her family is in my prayers.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family.  Take comfort in knowing that God is close to those that are broken at heart.

We will miss Mary's beautiful smile. She had such a warm, loving smile that she shared with everyone on a daily basis.

I am greatly saddened by the loss of Mary Anne.  When I think of her, images of my childhood growing up on Sausalito Avenue arise.  I see her brothers and sisters.  I see all the neighborhood kids that spent warm summer days, laughing, playing, and just enjoying the life our parents built for us.

Mary's kind, warm and loving friendship touched my life.  She was courageous, generous, and lived a life that was inspiring. She will be missed.

I will miss you so much Aunt Mary! you were such a life force in our family. I know that you are at peace with the angels now. I love you!

the world is a bit dimmer without Mary's light. She will be remember by the many people whose lives she touched by her presence.

My heart goes out to the Erbeznik family and pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen you.  Mary was such a good, loving and generous friend.  
Rest in Peace dear friend.  You will be deeply missed.

My thoughts are with the Erbeznik family during this difficult time. Mary was a beautiful person with a wonderful spirit.  She lit up all the lives of those she touched.  Rest in peace my friend.  You will be missed.
