To Sandy, Joel, and all of Mary K.'s family:
Johnny and I were sorry to learn of Mary K.'s passing, and we send our deepest condolences. She was a beautiful lady, both inside and out, and I know she will be greatly missed. Mary K. was a good friend to my mother, and my Aunt Lois loved her as well, and always treasured the memories of their nursing training in Roanoke. There is now a lovely new presence in heaven! God bless each of you.
