Mary Colleen, Paul, Katie, Hugh Gregory, Howard, Gerita and Colleen, I send my heartfelt sympathy. I was Mary's partner for many wonderful years at St. Joseph's. She was such an amazing woman, I loved her many stories about you all, told with such love and pride.I remember her first day, I was assigned to orientate her and she told me that she might not be right on that day. When I asked her why, she responded by saying " My husband left, I lost my job at Centracare and last night my bedroom ceiling fell nearly missing my head" I had no idea what to say, but I think I fell for her at that moment. We had many laughs that day and for years after. I always commented to her that she was the reason I showed up for night shift, just to hear more stories about you all. I felt like I was listening to a soap opera of a very loving devoted family. Know that she was always know as a wonderful nurse and always such a lady. Love to all.
