We are so sad to hear of Mary's passing. Mary was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. We will miss seeing her smiling face on our street, especially at Halloween and Christmas! May you find comfort in knowing that Mary made the world a better place by the kindness and generosity she showed to others.
