Ann, Don and Family,
We found out by accident that your dear Mom and Grandma had passed away. Denny accidently called Ted and he told Denny about your Mom's obit in the Sunday paper. We would like to extend our sympathies to you and hope that you can celebrate the life of Mary with the fondess of memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May she be resting in the arms of the Lord.
