Our sincere condolences to Marys Family. We had the opportunity to know Mary as a caring, thoughtful neighbor. She would call with recipes for rhubarb desserts and Jim would deliver rhubarb fresh from their garden. Mary would send Jim to our door with various dessert dishes that she had freshly made. Marys smile and friendliness will be missed. Peace to Marys Family at this stressful time she will be missed by many.
