Lisa and family,my deepest sympathies and prayers to you.
Your Mom was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many people. Please know that I will keep each of you in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. God Bless!!
Mary always was and will always be an inspiration to me.
Anthony, Lisa, Michelle, Nathan and Lindsay… I just want you all to know that my prayers, thoughts and the best of my heart go out to all of you at this important time… I loved your mom very much and it was hard to hear the news of her passing… but I believe that she has made it safely home. Take good care you guys… with love,
Your mom was a great person, nurse and supervisor. We always knew she would be there for us when we needed her. She was exceptional in so many ways. Blessings and much love as you journey through these difficult days. God bless you guys now and always! Love, Barb
Lisa and family, your dad and mom were two of the nicest people. You were blessed to have them as parents. They are together again. I will keep them and your family in my prayers.
Sending love, hugs & prayers to all of you. Our friendship goes back to the 60’s…I have lots of wonderful memories of your Mom…and Dad. God Bless you all as you go thru this difficult time.
Anthony, Lisa and Michelle: I was shocked when Walt showed me your FB post about your Mom as I have been away from it since January. My heart is breaking for you. I know first hand how hard losing your Mom can be. Time will pass and the hurt will fade, but it will never go completely away. Your Mom had such a kind soul. I’ll never forget her and your Dad together. The more he tormented and teased her (in a wonderful, loving way), the more she would laugh and love him more. She fit right in to this wild and crazy Orecchio bunch! I vividly remember their wedding day and how happy the two of them were. Now, they are together again. May you find comfort knowing that she is resting comfortably in the arms of Jesus. Love you all and miss you, dear cousins.
My deepest sympathy to Michelle and her family. I have wonderful memories of nightturn chats and much laughter with Mary when we worked together.
We were so sorry to hear this news. Our prayers go out to Anthony, Lisa, Michelle, and the whole family.
Shock doesn’t fully measure my reaction to hearing about Mary’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you Anthony, Michelle and Lisa. Mary was a strong and loving woman. I know you miss her already, but remember that she will always be with you. Mothers are famous for not letting go!
So very sorry for your loss. Mary was an amazing person and an incredible nurse. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Rest in peace Mary. She was such a pleasure to work with! I was blessed to have known her.

A vos y a tu familia les deseo mucha paz y la certeza de que ella descansó y pasó a un lugar mejor. Con todo mi cariño, Machi

Anthony, Lisa and Michelle, so sorry to hear of you mom’s passing. What a shock that was. It was always nice to see your mom next door when I went to see my mom and dad. It was also comforting for me knowing your mom was next door when my dad was there alone after my mom passed away. I always knew if there was a problem I could call Mary for help. Please know you all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
To all of Mary’s family, I worked with your mom for many years at WMC. Mary was always fun, very kind and fair. She was a great nurse and she taught us a lot.
