Gerry, thank you for calling my mother to let us know about your mother passing away. I am deeply sorry I could not make the service and give you my condolences in person. I was given this information yesterday, too late. Mary was a great influence in my young music life. Although Mary was never one of my teachers, she taught me a lot by watching her teach and sharing our "music stories". She showed me how a kind word goes so much further than a negative one. She definitely was a beautiful person inside and out.I wish you comfort and all the best in this difficult time. Deeply, Kathreen Ryan
