To Mary's family - My sincere condolences to all of you. My parents, Pat and Bertha Garcia were long time friends of Bob and Mary. I remember family picnics and I think my Dad worked for Bob when we lived on Sahuargo St. My Aunt, Stella Orona, and Sarah were friends in their younger years! I have very fond memories of them both and was sorry to read of Mary's passing.

Sincerely, Carolynn Garcia
