It was my pleasure to have known Mary and enjoyed several meals by her when working with Tom on films. She was a vibrant and wonderful soul. All my love and condolences to the family.

Deepest Sympathy
Remembering Aunt Mary's smile and her happy attitude will always be with me,
it was addicting.
My son's always remember how much fun and energetic she was especially at
weddings. They called her Dancing Mary.
She will be missed.

Dear Ted, Tom and Lee,
Our thoughts are with you and we remember Mary fondly. She was always "there," when you talked with her. Very interested in you. Joel remembers her telling him once that she was "Not writing a book about them," when relating her interest in someone. She was genuine.

Dear Ted,
I was so sorry to hear about Mary's death. She lived her life well and was a happy woman.
I have many great memories of her presence in Church, polish picnics, dancing and family gatherings. Always smiling!
I'm sure you will miss her very much but please know she suffers no more and is with God.
I hope and pray that your memories of your life with her be some comfort to you.
With my deep sympathy, prayers and good wishes.
