She was my neighbor for six years. She talked about her past, her dogs, her goose, and her military life. Whenever she needed my help, she would come over and ask me.... Her presence will be missed...!

Sitting outside on the porch, talking about feelings, love and animals when Rounder the Goose was large and in charge of the front yard. Dad would be working on the lawn mowers underneath flat on his back putting spark plugs in the mower and the Goose would jump on Dad's stomach, Dad would holler at Mary, Mary get Rounder off of me. We all would laugh. We all had some wonderful times in that yard. Now she's at peace with Dad I bet he said what took you so long to get here. 14 years of my life with Mary and Joel we all are going to miss and always remember. Love you
