"I remember so very clearly how she would gently hold my hand when I would say hello. Her clear, loving eyes and her warm smile were always so focused and giving. Ms. Mary I miss you dearly." (Charmaine Warren)
On Monday, November 24, 2014, just days before she passed, she was to receive a Martha Hill Dance Fund for Lifetime Achievement. She was too ill to accept so her granddaughter Elsa Hardy accepted. See the YouTube acceptance speech below...so poignant!
