Mary was like a second mother to my husband Skip and he will always hold a special place in his heart. I will miss her stories about the “good old days”. I remember the first time I met her when I first started dating my husband. We were sitting around chatting and Mary got us all up to play musical chairs…she was always the life of the party. She was an amazing woman and will be truly missed. Please remember in this difficult time that you now have a special angel watching over you.
