Mary you were such a wonderful person. I enjoyed all the lunches we had together. And I cannot forget the lunches you brought to me at Ginter Hall. When I moved to Florida to live with my daughter, Janis. I always looked forward to your letters. A picture of you and I has been on my nightstand since I moved here. I will miss a wonderful friend.
