Dear Janet, Kevin, and Family,
So sorry for your loss, but all of Mary’s friends are celebrating and have a party in Heaven to welcome her. Imagine, she’s the last of that great generation and of her friends to be reunited. She was a lovely, gracious woman who will be missed. I’ll be with you in thought and prayer on Saturday.
Blessings to all...
