I was very sad to hear of Mary´s passing. My sisters and I (The Cotton girls: Melody, Pam, Angie, Gloria, and myself Teresa), as well as a niece, Alicia (many years later), took dance from Mary for many, many years, all through our childhood. I think of her often, remembering the good times in her studios and at the recitals. She was a wonderful teacher and she will be missed. Teresa Cotton Grant
