Sen. Lesser Statement on the Passing of Former Sen. Mary Daugherty Abrams

Today, State Senator Matt Lesser (D-Middletown) issued a statement on the tragic passing of former State Senator Mary Daugherty Abrams.

“Mary was one of the finest people I have ever known,” said Sen. Lesser. “She was a ball of sunshine and a real force for good. She was tough, but joyful – a happy warrior. We worked closely representing Middletown together, on health care reform and on a great many issues. She was a friend and close ally. The Senate was at its very best with her around, and I will miss her greatly. My deepest condolences to her husband Jim, her children and grandchildren, and all who knew and loved her.”
