I used to take care of Mary while she was at Brewster Parke Franklin Hall. She was such a sweetie. Always had her nose in a book. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

Phil, Cindy and boys,
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom was so lucky to be loved and cared for by you all. She knew how much she was loved and that's the greatest gift you can give anyone.
