Scott, I am so sorry to hear of Mary´s passing but know she is free of pain and rejoicing in heaven. You are in my prayers and thoughts now and in these coming days. God truly blessed you with a lifetime love who was just one of the nicest people I´ve ever met. I am so sorry I won´t make it to the funeral as I´ve already committed to work. Hugs and prayers to you and all those who loved her.
