To Mary and all her family--so sorry to read about the sad news of your loss. Being friends with Mary, since the beginning of our tennis years, I have learned a lot of good things about ALL of Mary's family and know that if Mary needed help, George or any of the other members of her family would be right there at her side. Mary has spoken many times about George and Karen and the grand babies.
Karen-- so sorry for your loss and your family will be in my prayers as well!!!
