She was such a nice person and a great teacher! I enjoyed my time with her in class and after also. She is a big part of my memories at Mingo High. I will always remember her friendship to me during a difficult time. May she rest in peace. Class of 1977

Please accept my sincere condolences at the passing of your Mom. As a student of Mingo, I didn't have your Mom as a teacher (Miss Monaco taught one class of seniors) but was very aware of how much she cared about her students. I will let Sharyn know of her passing and I am sure that she wants you to know her sorrow at your loss as well.

I have known Mary most of my life. Her mother and father ran a smal store that we would go in to buy candy. Mary was a very good teacher requiring that you do your best. She was a great friend to my mother and when she could her and my mother had their own booth at Paddy's. Mrs. Visnic you will be missed. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Samra, My deepest sympaathy in the loss of your mother. She was my teacher at Mingo High School, class of 1954. (At that time you were the light of her life.) Her class was a delight, even though she required the best you could give. She is one of the reasons I became a teacher. May happy memories of your mother help you through the sadness of her death. Deepest sympathy. Mary Rose
