Dear Drew & Bob, You could not have taken better care of Mary. She was a very fortunate woman to have so much attention and love in her life. She smiled so much and was very thankful for you. You spoiled her and gave her so much of yourselves in every way. God is proud of all the ways you honored her. When you are ready, please have the most wonderful honeymoon anyone has ever had. Mary will always be in your heart and mind. She can now be your guardian angel.
Such a lovely picture of her for our memory. Blessings to two of the nicest human beings alive. Stay well and enjoy life. Your neighbors, Hilda and Steven
