I met Mabel thru the office where I was employed, Cisco Realty. She was our "pie lady", baking special pies for our agents. I visited with Mabel at her home in St. Marys and enjoyed our chats. She was a kind hearted person and I'm very thankful for the privilege of knowing Mabel. May God surround you with His comfort and peace. Peggy Kamorr
