Just want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy I was able to see Mary last August (and eat her pasta) lol. She was always like a mother to me and I will miss her too. She was one of a kind, and I feel blessed to have had her in my life these past 41 years. God rest her soul.
God bless you all!
