Our hearts are heavy as Mary was taken from us much too early. No party or gathering was complete without her infectious laugh. Once you heard Mary laughing, you couldn't help but join in. Miss you already....

I met Mary years ago when I was at State Street in Boston and she was at AIM Investments. We both were fortunate to travel as part of our job responsibilities. I have very fond memories of dinners in London, Houston, Chicago and most recently in CA. I considered Mary a friend and was always appreciative of her willingness to share her knowledge when I had a question. Very sorry to hear of Mary's passing, gone too soon .

It’s been many years since Mary and I were together in High School, but her smile still brings happiness. My condolences to her family—one and all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you... I met Mary through the Invesco Women's Network, and we worked together in the Rising Star Committee. She was someone I admired for her courage, her strength and her passion for helping others. "The world needs strong women who will lift and build others, who will love and be loved. Women who live bravely both tender and fierce. Women of indomitable will" ~ Amy Tenney Mary was one of these women... Even though she has left us, her legacy will carry on through others. Thinking of you, wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, and comfort in the midst of pain. Please accept my deepest sympathies, Karen Chin
