Mary was a bundle of joy! I truly loved to hear her stories. The most vivid story I remember is the time she told me that when she was born she was a premie baby. At that time they didn't have incubators and so forth. She was placed in a box and was kept warm in their neighbors wood stove. I worked in the chiropractic office she would come to, and oh how Mrs.Mary would keep us lined out. She will truly be missed, the lord has a spunky angel above us and someday we will meet again. Many thoughts and prayers go out to her family, she is truly an inspiration.
