It was a pleasure to work for Mary at Stumps. Each employee always received a lily at Easter and a poinsettia at Christmas. She was also generous with her hugs. A great lady who was always precise in her dress and demeanor. I'm glad she was able to have many good years in retirement.

Paul,
I was sorry to read about your mother in the paper. I know it doesn't make it any easier for you to think about her and her joy at being with your father and being free from all pain and discomfort she may have felt in her final days but it will get easier as time goes by. I remember your kind words at the death of my mother 4 years ago. She will always be with you in spirit. Just look toward heaven and say "Hi, Mom".
You have my deepest sympathy.
