We are sorry to hear of your loss, Mary was a good friend and neighbor. Had I know about her passing earlier, I would have attended the service. I am currently staying with my daughter, Linda, in Silver Spring and came across the notice in the Church bulletin (which was forwarded to me from my home address).
I am sure she is at peace with Jim and I am glad she had time with her Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren.
Sincerely, Ann Riseling (1819 Brisbane St)
