We just found out that Mary passed in May and we wanted to take a moment to send our sympathy and say what a true gem she was as a former neighbor and friend. We lived next door to her for 4 years...we dug our way to her during snowstorms, dropped her newspaper on her doorstep each morning, and stopped in to chat with her periodically. She always welcomed our visits, told us great stories about her Fun Bunch, her daughter Sheila, and her grandchildren. She often reminisced about her husband Bill, and was always in tune with what was going on in the world. She was kind, caring, positive, and giving. She always remember our birthdays with cards that made us smile. We are sad that she is gone, but we know that God was pleased with the time she spent on this earth. We will miss her.
