My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you, Dan, children, Sara, and Larry. Mary and I were friends from Pleasant Hill, Limestone, and early in our motherhoods with Dan & Bobby often in the foursome. She was quite the little lady, always upbeat and ready for the next adventure. May you find peace in her passing with the memories.
