I met Mary in 2018 when we joined an ALIO cohort together with several other wonderful Aviva ladies.  Over the course of just a few days, we shared with each other our hopes, ambitions, dreams and shadows, and from then on looked out for each other as our lives and careers progressed.  Mary was such a beautiful light in this group, she brought us laughter and tears, she was vulnerable and yet hugely strong, and so supportive to us all both then and since.  She will be very deeply missed by us all, and my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
