I was so saddened to hear about my cousin, Mary's passing. What a wonderful, soft spoken woman she always was and had a gorgeous smile whenever we visited as children. I have fond memories of babysitting David, Nora and Mary Francis in Raymertown and cousin Dave and Mary always made that time very special. We used to pick corn in the yard and Mary used to cook it and we'd have a picnic and a good time. I have many wonderful memories of being with the family and with all of the kids when they were little during holidays. You had a wonderful, loving mother. Always keep the good times in your memories and heart.
