I was a co-worker as a teacher at Gauklt Jr. High with the husband of Lucille. Lucille was always warm and friendly to me when Alan hosted me in their home.

I knew Mary as Lucille, and used to sit with her at All Saints' Church. I was always impressed with how vibrant she was and her sense of style. When I read that she had been a buyer for the May Company, I thought "well, see". She often told me of her beloved Christmas Village.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mary, the mother of my dear friend Pat, a few months before she died. I was amazed at all she was still doing at her age - that day is was making bagels from scratch. What I enjoyed most during our visit was her willingness to tell me some of the chronology of her long life and her interest in mine. I regret that I never got to visit with her again.
