Thinking of you and your families, Arley. I am remembering the laughter, the comradery, and the joy while training with her for the Portland Marathon. We made a special connection that I will always hold dear. I will remember her positive, sweet ways. Take care of yourself, and know that you are being sent a warm hug.
Fondly, Mary Orbe

I met Mary when we were both in the initial training program at Alain Pinel Realtors. We were kindred spirits and collaborated and referred each other business for years. She was smart analytically and emotionally and always a bright ray of sunshine. We'll all miss her - but not as much as you, Arley. I send you my greatest regards and sympathy.

I knew Mary as a Rotarian. Not any Rotarian but the best that Rotary has to offer the world. She was intelligent, optimistic, magnanimous and clever. She will be forever remembered in the Rotary world for her "Cash for DDF" stratagem, which will save at least 1,000 babies per year from the scourge of HIV in Africa.

Mary ix a loving example of a good neighbor who always looked out for her neighbors, and worked hard to make a better community by serving others. She provided a wealth of experience, insights, and talents to make tough challenges easy. Her smile, while vigorously doing her laps around Ives Terrace, will always be remembered. There goes Mary.....and we really miss her.

Dear Arley,
It was a joy and a privilege knowing Mary in the past year. In the short time I found the warmth in her while she was dealing with her own pain. True regret that I have is that she is gone way sooner. My prayers are with you and the family during these trying times. Keep your faith and spirit high.

Mary will be missed in our office; she was admired by everyone. It seems like yesterday she was making copies of her latest contract or leading a training session. Our manager takes us to lunch in our birthday month; I got to know Mary at the lunch dates since we both have May birthdays. I'm so
glad I told her just last May what an inspiration she was to us! Sincerely, Lori Nelson
