To the family of our beautiful and incomparable, Mary. Your mom, grandmother, great grandmother's presence at Sacred Heart was very special indeed. She had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and welcome. Mary will be sorely missed at Sacred Heart but her presence lives on in our hearts.

Dearest Mary. Our upbeat and energetic next door neighbor and friend. Always available for advice, conversation, a sharp wit, and generosity. We'd commiserate and laugh so many times for the forty years we knew each other. We are beyond sad for this loss. May your soul continue to be blessed with light and love. We will always miss you and remember you.

I knew Mary as a talented artist, kind to all and an unmatched wit that could make a whole group of folks literally laugh out loud. I feel so lucky to be her friend. She will live on forever in my heart.

Noone was a stranger when it came to Mary. Her warm inviting personality was always a huge welcome to new parishioners/ new comers to Colorado. Her infectious smile was always a warm embrace. A promotion indeed, but a huge loss for her friends and family left behind. RIP Mary OXOXOXOX
