As far back as I can remember, Mary has been a constant in my life and the lives of my family. There are no words adequate in expressing my deepest condolences to the entire Barren family on the loss of a kind and gentle matriarch. As a friend and neighbor, I feel grateful to have known her. It is unfortunate how easy it is to take for granted a person's presence in your life. On a near daily basis going to and from work, I would pass Mary either working in the garden or relaxing on the front porch. I will miss seeing her warm smile, friendly wave and occasional chat. My deepest thoughts and condolences are extended to the entire Barren family and please let me know if I can be of help or comfort during this difficult time. Me and the entire Newman family are just a short walk down the Manor if you need us. Sincerely, Ashley Newman
