Mary Elizabeth and I often walked uptown Hillsboro together in the first grade. My dad's office was further down the street than her parent's bakery. Then 12 years later we graduated from Hilhi. Always that sweet smile and kind voice. I am glad to call her a friend.

I have such fond memories of such a generous woman and aunt. I still have my crocheted wolf and 3 little pigs hand puppets. Many children have thoroughly enjoyed time with them, as many enjoyed their times with you. We love you.

Mary and I had many lunches together where we "solved the world's problems," as well as bragged to each other about our mutual grandsons. I miss those times with Mary.
