Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • So sorry to read of Mary’s passing. She was a dear friend of my mother, Astrid Rasmussen, until Astrid’s death in 2000. They met as dietary aides at St. B and remained friends. I had often thought about her over the years and wondered how she was doing. My condolences to her children and grandchildren. She was a lovely lady. - Posted by: Linda Wilton (Friend) on: Feb 02, 2019
