With gratitude for the life we shared, With sorrow for the future we shan't, We come together to celebrate thee Mary Alice, my love, my life, my person. We invite you to think about what you would say to Mary Alice if she were here and leave it as a comment below (or email it to thoughts@madmemories.com if you would prefer). These messages will be used as part of her celebration of life.
Mary Alice’s kindness and generosity spelled themselves out in the joy she took in sharing her knowledge with others, whether they were her math students or a relative stranger — me — whose new rescue dog needed a wiser hand than mine. She offered to train him, hands on, a time-consuming challenge that she greeted with a smile. We had only met once, at a luncheon party, where I remember she was quick to laugh and where we both enjoyed our food. It was a blessing to have known her bright spirit, if only much too briefly.
