After all this time and I still miss my best friend very much. We had such good times together and I have a lot of memories to reflect back on. I would love to spend just one more day with her. I have a picture of the two of us taken at the beach and we were so tan and young. Miss you always my friend.

Mary Lee and I were best friends. I still think of her often and miss her. I was glad I got to see her resting place in the VA cemetery

To Mary Lee's family:
I am so very sad to hear of Mary Lee's passing. Larry, I don't know if you remember me: Linda Fulton (Bob). The four of us spent time together. I was in your wedding and Mary Lee was in mine. She was my best friend. We kept in touch for awhile after I left Delaware and then when you moved to Townsend, we lost contact. Mary Lee and I shared so much together. I spent many a night at her mother's house playing cards. You never knew what she and I would get into. I have always missed her dearly. It makes me even sadder that we lost touch. I was happy to see she loved antiques as I do as well.
We shared many memories from working at Du Pont together.
May she rest and peace. Loved her
like a sister.
Larry or some family member that sees this, please forward me Larry's home address. [email protected]
I have a few photos I would like to share from the good old times.
