We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mary. She was a dear and close friend to so many. She will be missed very much. Mary was one of the few that kept in touch with me after my move to Tennessee. So many times she would call just to say hello and make my day. Our deepest sympathy to all of her family. Helen Fourier and Marie Measles (Granddaughter of Helen) God Bless you all...
