With everything going on in the world, it is time to turn off those upsetting thoughts and think about and appreciate Mary's life.

I met Mary at an Intensive Care Nursing course at St. Anthony's hospital. We suffered together through that course and graduated forever friends. We bonded over fresh baked cookies and homemade pudding served in St Anthony's cafeteria. We shared dreams. Hers was selling her smaller home that got flooded and moving to her large waterfront home on First Palm Point. To my astonishment, she pulled it off! She proceeded to fix it up and turn it into a loving home that sheltered many different family members and helped them along their way in life. She was generous, protective, and loving towards her family. It was just her way. She was the corner stone of her family, for sure. I respected that about her. I saw her remarkable strength and resilience firsthand over the years.

We worked together at Bay Front Medical Center, where Carolyn Mather, Mary and I became friends. Over the years, our respect for each other grew as we witnessed each other take on whatever life threw at us.

Thanks to Carolyn, who over the years was the part of our Triad who kept us connected and well.

Thanks to Richard for taking Mary to Mayo Clinic in the camper, staying with her and facilitating the saving of her life!

Thank God for putting precious friends in my life! They make it worth living.

Thanks to all who read this, and care.

RIP Mary. You are loved, missed and remembered fondly.

Much love,
Karen Morris

My found this memory of my cousin Teresa would be when we were in Chicago in 1969 and we spend the night there at our home. She was very happy full of joy to be with us. She was very kind to us. I remembered the two big dogs they look like horses, and I also remember the sweltering heat of that year but most of all I remember her kindness, her being gentle with us, loving to talk wanting to get to know us better. Than many years later, we start contacting each other and I enjoyed our conversations. She gave me a lot of good advice good tips. and the good thing about that too I was able to talk with Richie. Teresa was a cousin to me and treated me so and I was blessed to have it. I will truly miss our conversations. Peace be with you, Prima Teresa Love from your Primo Hector Parocua from California.

My fondest memory of Teresa was when we went to Chicago I believe the year of 1969 and we spend an evening with her at her home and I will never forget her kindness her joy of having us there with her and those two big dogs that she had to me they look like horses. I also remember it was a sweltering summer heat, but we enjoyed our ourselves and I’ll always remember her kindness and many years later we ended up contacting each other. and she would call me or I would call her and I enjoyed our conversations. She would give me good advice and good tips.I will miss her dearly. Thank you for love-Peace be with you, Cousin Teresa Love, your Primo Hector Parocua.
