Mary and I met a week Melissa and Claudia were born at Jefferson Davis Hospital back in August 1977. I will never forget that day… Mary was like an angel sent to me! She was always willing to help me, always greeting me with a big and sincere smile. Today, when I returned from work, Claudia informed me that Mary had passed away. I could not believe it! Although, Mary and I stopped seeing each other long time ago, I feel very sad today as I havent felt in a long, long time. Mary, my dear friend, I always will remember you, as the great friend you were, and for your beautiful smile! ¡Qué Diosito bendiga a toda la familia y les de pronto consuelo!
