My dear friend Mary I missed you so much when you moved. We kept in touch for awhile but got busy & lost touch-I’ll see you again someday- I know William was happy to see you.

Mary Nelson wasn't just my best friend Hannah's "nanny" she was my nanny too! I have many fond memories of her and loved her dearly. She had a great sense of humor and such a loving personality. I send my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers to her family during this time. I love you all.
