everyone was concerned when Jack passed, how would Mary do. Well she got a job and did just well, thank you. Mary can surprise you. To me, (and Rita) she was a handful, but consider eight kids and we were the first to leave the nest, Mary was always there to help with whatever she could do. I liked Mary. and I"m sorry for Rita and the whole Murphy clan. I'm sure Jack can't wait 'till she gets there!
