    I worked with Mary in NWPC sat right next to each other and shared many laughs, stories, and some hard times…we followed parallel paths into BSPO but lost touch when I retired. We loved gardening and Koi ponds and often shared. She was a bright light in NNSY, RIP Mary

    I am truly sorry for your loss, what really comforted me in my time of loss is the scripture@ Revelation 21:3&4 . Which gives us the wonderful promise of God wiping out every tear from our eyes and death being no more. I hope this promise from Jehovah will truly bring your family much comfort at this time.

    Truly sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. The last time we spoke she mentioned about her health struggles. Mary worked for me in Code 290 before I decided to take a job in Florida. She will be missed.
