Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I just heard about it today (Sunday). I never met Mary so don't know if there were health problems, but know that you all are in my prayers.
Love and sympathy, Trish

I think of Mary Bowman as the very effecient and professional person that I respected during my early years working a JRMC. Warren was also one
of my patients during his frequent admissions.
She is part of the good memories of JRMC.
