Since I was best man at Mary's and Wallace's wedding over 60 years ago, my friendship with Mary has deepened. I knew her as a fellow poet and a dear friend. I will miss her and miss knowing she is there in Duluth or Suches doing things to brighten the world.

My sweet Mary you was the best neighbor a person could ask for. My heart breaks knowing I want never be able to come sit on your mountain porch and have ice tea talk and watch the humming birds. I will miss hearing you laugh and looking at your smile. I always said you was a true southern lady. My grandkids will miss coming and seeing the cookie lady and getting their two cookies I can still see you waving and throwing a kiss to us as we backed down the driveway. It saddens me thinking that when I drive by your house and seeing the light on and knowing you're not there. As they said to know you is to love you this is so so true. I know this is good bye but only for a little while because I know your in heaven and I will see your smile and hear you laugh again. Love you sweet cookie lady your friend Jeanette.

Mrs Mary from the first time I met her always made us feel like family. Mary was a true Southern charm and always had little gifts for no reason to share with others. My heart felt sympathy to Dr Wallace ,Dr Slade ,Carson and their families during this difficult time. Prayers for Gods peace and comfort. Love you Rock
