17 Year old Mary Sherrill at
the Escola Americana in June 1969
“Mary was as beautiful as she was intelligent. Her
laughter was attractive and captivating. I recall Mary’s friendliness, her joy
of life and sense of humor. Teenagers are often selfish and self-centered, but,
not Mary; rather she seemed very transparent and willing to give her time to her
friends and to her school.” Stan Key remembers his classmate. After a
brave struggle with cancer Mary died peacefully at her home in Atlanta on October 22, 2004.
