My deepest condolences to the family of Mary May. She was one of the sweetest people I've known and fondly remembered as one of my most dedicated volunteers in the Belleville Public Library Archives. Whenever I look at her cherished gift to me of a stuffed St. Louis Cardinal, I will always remember her.

I came to work at Westfield Manor this morning and was saddened to learn of Ms Mary's passing. She always had a smile and a sweet word for everyone, staff and residents alike. I am so very sorry for you loss and you are all in my heart and prayers!
