Dear Richard, I am writing to send my condolences and sympathy in the loss of your wife Mary. My husband, Roy Whitaker, passed away in February 2021. He always appreciated your friendship. Joan Whitaker
I am really saddened to hear of Mary Paul’s passing. She was a wonderful mentor for me at Marymount. Mary Paul had such a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. And, she married another mentor of mine, Lt. Edgington who put me under his wing when I was a young police officer in Salina. Dick, I have been blessed to know both of you. I was lucky enough to see Mary Paul briefly at Marymount at the last reunion (maybe 3 years ago?) She is in my prayers as are you. With loving thoughts, Jan (Saylor)
