Mary always had a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye and she certainly brought a lot of joy to the Tanner and Dawson families. "Peck" took great care of her and in doing so, showed us all the beauty of sacrificial love and caregiving. May she rest in peace, and may we all appreciate those who take care of us and help us in our difficult times.
