I just learned of your mother's passing. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'll never forget the visit I had with her and your Dad. I loved her dry wit and love of air dried sheets. I believe she was getting ready to have a fight with a green bean company for having too many stems in the can.

Lane, I miss Mary so much, her fun phone calls and her favorite things to talk about, politics, travel and money. She loved it when we went down to Atlanta, boys and all, my parents weren't home, so it was turn around and go to Mary's for a "potty stop." I got as big a hug from her as I did from my mom, we were just family passing through. She always had an open door for us. She cried with us and celebrated with us and was just part of our family. The world was a better place with her in it, I miss her.
