Mary had a very long life. I enjoyed working with her at the hospital. The last time I saw her she was getting ready to move to the other side of the state to be close to family. She is in a much better place for sure. Gordon and Shelia Bristol Avon Park FL.

I was so sorry to hear about Mary Frances.I called and talked to her about a yr. or so ago. She told me that she was having quite a bit of trouble. Her Mother and my Mother were sisters. Praying for all of you and Austin.

I will always treasure and be grateful for the times we had together in Flint when you opened up your house to me while I was teaching in the area. I love you so much and will miss our visits. I know God is going to get a little chubbier with all the homemade cooking you will create in heaven.
