knowing Mary for several years and cleaning her home she always had a smile on her face and made sure to offer me a Pepsi, her favorite drink. Her two other favorite things to eat was Pretzels and Good and Plenty candy that I would find on the floor, in between cushions and under the couch, Ha. I will miss your sweet smile and kindness!
