Mary was a dear, sweet person I've had the pleasure to know both as a student and a teacher. I first met Mary when she taught Spanish at St. Joe High School in the early 1980s. Then, about seven years later, I worked with her very closely when she, Julie Hudkins, and I helped to create the curriculum for the new 8th grade foreign language program at Schmucker Middle School. Mary (and Julie) both were tremendously helpful to me, a beginning teacher. Mary could also be a prankster, though, as she once had her students turn all of my desks upside down when I was out of my room. I returned the favor, though! She definitely had a heart of gold and would do anything asked of her. She loved her students and we all loved Mary. May you rest in peace, friend.

There isn't heartache if there hasn't been joy.
You wouldn't feel loss if there hadn't been love.
You can't take pain away without having to remove that person from your heart.
It is better to have this pain now than to never have known them.

Dear Cousin Mary. You were the youngest of all of us Furlong cousins. You were to keep track of all of us as we aged. You left us too soon. You were loved and will be sorely missed.

Saying goodbye
Is the hardest thing to do
I never thought I would
Especially not to you.

You always listened
And knew what to say
Knew when to give a hug
When I was having a bad day.

No one will ever take your place
I can always promise you this
It's hard to find someone like you
So know you'll always be missed my beautiful friend Mary!

Daniel I'm so very sorry for your loss... just know you will see her again..and my thoughts are with you and your family !! LOVE YOU ALL

Mary was so professional and upbeat when we taught together at St. Joe. I am saddened by the death of such a sweet colleague. Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers.

I am profoundly sad to hear this news. I have so many wonderful memories of teaching with Mary at Penn HS and celebrating together when we retired at the same time. She was so kind and loving...and always smiling. My deepest sympathy to her family.
