My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in that they will find comfort during this difficult time. Mary was such a wonderful lady. She treated my three boys as if they were her grandchildren, and I miss visiting with her on the phone. I will never forget her.
Kathleen and Kenneth, we are so sorry for your loss.
