Heaven has received a wonderful soul, I feel blessed to have known Mary through ballet. She had a wonderful way of making everyone she met feel special. We do know she is dancing wherever she is, with beautiful Attitude turns and Port-de-Bras. She will be so missed, sympathies to Scott, Ashley and all her family & friends.

I am saddened by the loss of such a wonderful, beautiful person. Mary you will always be remembered how many lives she touched, mine being one. I've been retired from the real estate world for a while now and we haven't been in touch. ...but it doesn't make this news any easier. I will always remember that beautiful soul of hers. Prayers of comfort to all who knew her.
