The best day in this world was the day my dear friend Mary Rice was born! I will miss her everyday, her voice, her laugh, her many life stories, funny stories of COTL and her wisdom of life & a life well lived. It was not always easy for her but she was tough. Tough as they come. Never thought or wanted to think of a day that she would not be here anymore... I will continue to pray for her everyday & will look forward to seeing/hugging her again when my time comes. My deepest sympathy to her daughters, grandchildren, stepchildren, great-grandchildren...
