Jim, I'm sooo sorry & shocked to hear about Mary's passing! I was out of town and just found out yesterday. She was such a sweet & caring person, and I'm sure you will miss her immensely. I remember the few times I was at Johnson's pond w/ everyone when we were younger, and the "buzz" when we all learned you two were dating. May the fond memories help you through this trying time. Love, Dede
