Dear Mary, I mourn your passage from life, but not memory. I ponder the difficulties you faced as well as your contributions to the lives of many people, including myself. I am truly sorry we will never have another opportunity to discuss books and history. I offer my condolences to your beloved Henry, Francesca, the rest of your extended family, and friends.

Dear everyone, Thank you for writing in about my mother. I appreciate your warmth and your tributes. FYI, in lieu of flowers, now there is a link to use to donate to the Rhinelander Performance Fund at the Sawyer Free Library in Gloucester: https://sawyerfreelibrary.org/about/get-involved/donate/constance-rhinelander-fund/
Thank you. The intangibles, the memories, mean the most.

I am saddened to lose Mary.  She was a dear friend and a fascinating woman.  She always had something interesting to say about history.  I especially enjoyed a visit with her on Thacher Island when she was there to paint and I was there to operate ham radio.  She was a sweet woman and I’ll miss her.
