I’m so glad I knew Mary Francis she was one of the first RN I met in 1969 when I went to work at BCH she was very kind and an excellent RN and had a unique personality she was a treasurer to behold
My dear friend Linda, and family. We were so saddened to learn of Mary Frances passing. I have very fond memories of her and your family. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of sadness. We all wish that time spent with those we love would last forever….and in our hearts and memories it surely will. Our love and deepest sympathy to you and yours.
I knew Mary through John – he was my boss at AEP. They were a devoted couple. They were so in touch with their extended family. John always talked about them when I would talk about my five sons. Mary always was the first Christmas card & always so considerate. The family they always talked about will now be in my prayers as well as Mary & John.
