Mary MacKenzie wrote a sympathy message

“Mary Walsh was a wonderful person. She loved to talk about what she was reading, she loved her garden, was fearless about climbing up her rocky wall to weed and she loved to help others. I was fortunate to meet Mary back in the day when we were all parishioners at St. Joseph's Church in Woods Hole and have counted her as a dear friend ever since. Like so many I will miss her and I know her family understands how special she was to so many people. Mary Pat MacKenzie”
