We were so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family. I have many fond memories visiting with Mary when my sister Betty was in town, chatting about antiques and dolls and admiring all of the lovely treasures in her home and those she was selling in her booth the Hay Loft. I will never forget her.
