Our thoughts are with you all. Mary was one of the sweetest ladies I had the privilege to know all my life. She spoiled us at the phone company with her "yummy" cookies every Christmas. What a joy she was to our community.

Mary was such a vivid, livey, and witty woman. I enjoyed listening to her tell stories about her life. She was always charming and kind to me. God Bless you Mary. You're with Tommy and Him now; I know you're just fine.
