My thoughts and sympathies to Gloria, Keith, Johnny, Judy and their extended family on the Passing of a great woman. I have known the Metcalf family since they moved to Black Forest and Mary became my second Mother after losing mine in 1968. Everyone will greatly miss her.

I want to express my thoughts of sympathy to the family. I felt privileged to have known Mary during these past few years. We have enjoyed sharing a great grandchild. She was a wonderful person with an optimistic feisty spirit.
