Sending my deepest sympathies to you Bob and your family.. Mary was a sweet and kind person and I feel blessed to have known her. I always enjoyed seeing her at the salon and having our chats. It's hard to believe I've known your family since the boys were young kids. I will be praying for you all and sending lots of love.
