She was one of my favorite readers for many years at the library. Enjoyed many good conversations together. We appreciate all the many birthday cards she sent to us over the years. And the tasty pickles she made & shared with us. Her life's journey is over. She was a hard worker & touched many lives. Mrs. Mary will be remembered fondly. May God be with each of you.
