Mary and I started at Abby Van together. We have been friends ever since,even though I am on the other side of the country now. I have always enjoyed her post on FB. She was such a kind and thoughtful person. I will miss her dearly. Mary, I am lost without you on FB! Please take good care of Naggi for her (I know you will). God Bless

You were always telling me, Kathy make sure you take care of yourself! You have a tendency to overlook your own needs. Gave me advise that may have been alittle harsh but you didn't mix words, not with me, or anyone else. Your stories could send me into laughing fits, and bending over from exhaustion. You have stood by me, and protected me through all my lifes turmoils like a big sister. In fact it was only weeks ago you told me , " how very proud you we're of the woman I've become. You've been a lot of things to a lot of people but to me, you've been my mentor and one of my dearest closest friend! There will never come a day that I won't think of you and your great wisdom! I will miss so many thing about you marymac.. too many to count!"Always in my thoughts, forever in my heart! RIP MARY MAC...❤

Mary was employed at Abby Vans since 2011 (8 years). She was a go to employee who was always willing to help out when others failed to do their part. You could always count on her – and she was too nice for her own good. She loved to chat and was very thorough when it came to training other drivers or when a problem came up. She was so detailed oriented when it came to getting things done that there were some times when we would chuckle and shake our heads and say Mary – take a deep breath……it will get done, just be patient. LOL
Rest in peace Mary. We are so happy you are now pain free. How you endured it for so long shows such strength, perseverance and character. She will be missed by her co-workers and clients alike.
