My dear Mary. I met you over five years ago and looked forward to seeing you every other week. You are such a gentle soul, so giving and have such a big heart. You never forgot me on the holidays with Easter basket goodies, X-mas gifts and always sharing your home grown tomatoes and apples. I feel blessed to have known you and spent the time I did with you. I will miss your bright smile and promise to take care of your beautiful home. I pray you are pain free and in a better place. I will miss you dearly Mary. Dana
