Russ,
What a shock to see the news about Mary in the paper. We spent the evening hashing over old times and Cec talked about how loving and carefree Mary was and the hours her and Mary spent over tea discussing the kids. We will always keep Mary in our prayers - she was an absolutely wonderful human being.
