Mary Frances Dessert

When I think of Mary, I have so many different remembrances. I recall her dancing around the Micro lab at the Hospital of Saint Raphael. her long hair swinging which made what happened so unbelievable. I remember driving to the hospital in New London with my father to visit in those early days after the accident and your brave words as you told him how you decided to live and not give up. When you came home to West Haven I so enjoyed walking to your house each week and then taking you with...

You had a few years on me in age, and we´d laugh over the "old days", but we truly did share the same era and delights. I will forever be grateful you crossed into my life.

I woke up today thinking of you. I found this, and my heart clutched, and I knew why, because I always kept this thought out of my mind, hoping to talk to you again. You loved chocolate, anything in the color purple and watching NASCAR with Pete. Talking politics or religion was always a spirited conversation, and we loved Downton Abby. I used to send you the episodes on DVD every week, and once sent along a china tea cup, and matching saucer, so we could sip as we chatted on the phone....
