As a realtor, I worked with Mary over the last 15+ years. She was perhaps the nicest person I have ever met. I am so saddened by the loss of her. But, I feel so blessed to have met her. She exuded a kindness that made her endearing. I will miss her.



My deepest sympathies to Pat, Mike and the Duggan Family.



Love,

Mary was one of the nicest people that I have ever met. I so enjoyed working in the same office with her when I worked for Linda Kaloustian. The last time I saw her, which was probably almost close to a year ago, she looked good and I was hopeful that she would beat the cancer. I am so sorry that she is gone and will always remember her wonderful smile and her easy personality. My sympathies to her whole family.
