Elmer and boys. I am so sorry. I too lost the love of my life 2 years ago and KNOW how it hurts. I remember Mary as a classy and gentle lady. I also remember the days at channel three. "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end." As we've gotten older we realize they do end sooner or later. Love and prayers. Vee Sorenson
