I was very saddened to hear of my sweet friend/former coworker's passing. Mary & I worked side by side for at Abbott Laboratory. I'm so glad I took the great opportunity to stop by & pay Mary a surprise visit a few months ago. She was "super" happy to see me! We hugged & reminisced about our days of working on Line #7 in small volume. Take your rest my good friend. I know there's a crown in Glory waiting for you.

I'm so saddened that Mrs. Mary has passed on. She was a very special lady that I've known and admired since I was a teen. I can't count the number of times she invited and allowed me to eat and enjoy the delicious meals she prepared while sharing her motherly warmth. We will miss her but we know she will be in heaven "ushering" us in. Rest in peace Mrs. Mary. Jean, Thurbert, and Lee; "keep the faith and keep looking up" Love, Shirley Bullock Hood and Eston Hood
