Mary and Harold have been a part of our family’s life for so many years, Their friendship with my mom and dad, John and Janice Carletti, was truly amazing. Their best stories of life and adventure always seemed to include Mary and Harold. Mary was always filled with love, kindness, and laughter. I loved watching her doing life, and doing it well. Thank you Mary for all the memories. You have left a great legacy.

Mary was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve known. She always had a smile for me and was so welcoming as a new wife of a doctor. She and Dr. Battenfield were inspirations to me in so many ways. I’m so thankful that I knew her.
