From Maureen...

Many thanks to all the people who've been sending messages of support, donations, stories about Mary, and offers of such practical help during a terribly difficult time...and of course also to the friends who've continued to cook, help with the dogs, help with logistics, and patiently talk in the middle of the night with me, who really just are my response to the question, "How you holding up?"

Here are the details on Mary's upcoming memorial:

From Maureen...

The team who cared for Mary is slowing coming back to full strength, and people have been asking us how they can help.

• Many of you have already been sending in emails with stories and anecdotes about Mary, and what she meant to you. These are really helping us in planning her memorial(s). You are welcome to contribute these through this website, or you can email me directly at mmason@maureenmason.net

• Notes and emails are always welcome, but in lieu of flowers Mary asked that donations be sent to the following organizations:

    Fittingly an article about the oiled-bird rescue work done by Jay Holcomb, Mary's friend at this organization, appeared in the Chronicle the same day as Mary's obituary.
