Lester:

I met Robert and Mary in 1959, while stationed in Denver. From the time we first met, Mary always had the most pleasant smile, quiet demeanor, warmest hello and welcome to our home. She was special, and one of the most loving, generous people I have ever met. Mary will be missed by all who knew her and loved her.

Michaella:

I first met Mary and Robert when Lester and I began dating when he was stationed at Lowry. Lester told me “I want to take you to the home of two very special people who are important to me.” I’ll never forget being invited into the warm and welcoming home of Robert and Mary. Mary served tea as graciously and with as much dignity and love as a queen. She made everyone around her feel special, lifted and happy. Her warmth, smile and pleasant demeanor has been one I’ve attempted to mirror. To say she was “a special lady” doesn’t do her justice. She was magnificent; and one could never have been in her presence long enough. I smile every time I think of her. She will be missed.
