I´m so sorry for your loss. I met Mary and Charlie many years ago at my parent´s camp in duke center. She was a great lady and always had things to say! They used to bring brownies and cherry tomatoes to my husband- so kind. Mary and my mother came to Erie several times over the years to shop at the millcreek mall or to meet up with me and my daughter and travel to the grove city outlets. We always had a great time and lots of laughs. I´ll always remember my daughter trying to decide between two pairs of shoes. Mary said "Rachael, why don´t you just get both?" And so she did. We talk about the shopping trip and always laugh. I´ll miss her.
