I am so sorry to hear of Miss Mary's passing. She was such a special lady. I loved visiting with her over the years. She always had a smile on her face and the cutest giggle I have ever heard. I think of her often and have such great memories. I missed her so much when she stopped coming to the doctors office where I work. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends, she will be truly missed.

My deepest sympathy to Mary's family members and friends. I was so blessed the day I contacted her after adopting her little dog, Chloe.
I loved visiting her with Chloe as well as our long phone conversations. We talked on the phone just a few weeks ago and I had meant to visit her with a plate of cookies from one of the recipes she shared with me. Now she is in the presence of our Lord and no doubt Chloe accompanies her everywhere she walks on streets of gold. I know I will see her again when I get to "come home." What a sweet reunion it will be.
