My sincerest condolences to the Bachrach family. Mary was a good friend to me after I lost my dad. I met Mary at the Beth El minyan where my dad would go every morning. My dad was very fond of his minyan companions and after he passed I would return there to visit with them as for me it was a connection to him. Mary insisted that we meet for dinner when I would visit Palm Beach from NYC. I always appreciated her company both at dinner and at the minyan. Mary was a kind person and she had a good heart. She saw the truth in people but would never say a negative word about anyone. I especially enjoyed her 80th birthday party. Her children were extremely devoted to her and she was blessed to have them in her life. She was ever so grateful to her son Micheal for all he did for her. She missed Floyd terribly but she carried on in spite of it. She had a strong will to live as she survived several life threatening experiences. I will miss her at minyan and at high holy day services and I will miss our dinners out in Palm Beach during my short visits. Mary was smart, caring and had a great big heart. She ill be sorely missed my me as well as by many others she touched in her years living in Palm Beach. One by one my minyan friends are either passing on or moving away….and I miss them all…..Harry, Ruben, Pierce and now Mary. I was blessed to know them.
