I only spoke to Mary twice online. I also crochet for BWAW. I'm a new "crocheter" and she was so helpful in assisting me with "how tos". Such a sweety and made beautiful blankets, which for some are everlasting memories, they will cherish forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. May God show you now and in the future His love and comfort during this time of loss.
