Paula and Ruth, today is your mom's birthday. I usually called her on the 17th. Lately my own health issues hadn't let me call. I am so sorry she's gone. I knew her since she worked for State of Florida. She & Al were at my wedding in Tallahassee in 1990. She and Al visited us at our home in Byers Colorado 1996. Ed passed away in 2012. I know Mary isn't suffering any more. Many of our chats were cut short by her pulmonary problems. I'll cherish the memories I have of her. I was also lucky enough to have one of her afghans she made special for me. Sending prayers and love, Iris Salladay Sirois Byers Colorado

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family at this most sorrowful time. It was such a pleasure to talk to Mary while doing her hair. I loved seeing all the blankets she made. They were extra ordinary. She will most definitely be missed. Go in peace Mary.
