It is with a very heavy heart that I am posting this, Mary has passed on. Her son wrote a beautiful note on facebook~~
" Hello, my name is Don, Mary's youngest son. My mother had many friends that she loved dearly that I do not know. A lot of those friendships were because of COPD support efforts. My mother was amazingly strong, fought very hard for her independence, and she loved even more. She was extremely grateful for the support that she received and provided through COPD forums and other outlets. I thank you for the support that she was able to receive as you could provide her with knowledge based on experience that our family did not have. I do apologize for the informal notification but I do not know how to reach out to all of you. I am sad to say that Mary passed away last night, November 30th, 2015, at 10:00 pm. She was no alone. She was surrounded by many family members.
Mary, you were a tremendous asset to the COPD Community and we will miss you so~~our little world here has lost a wonderful woman~~God Speed to you Mary and God Bless your family.

Don, I send condolences to you and your family. Mary was an amazing woman and Joe was a real charm. My wife and I had the pleasure of having lunch with them several yrs ago.
We send our love and prayers for peace and comfort, Ken
