Jill & David, my heartfelt condolence for your loss. Your mother was a sweet soul. I loved her.
Oh Mary, what a shock. Always enjoyed it when you were playing the piano at church. And the fellowship meals-you always said you weren’t a cook! But you usually brought something. You’re church family surely going to miss you.
My condolences to Jill & David & your grandchildren
Mary was very efficient in her job at the Social Security Office. She was a delight to work with. I have a piano I purchased from her for my daughter. I also have a recipe she shared of her sister, Ida’s for Frito Dip that we love! My condolences to David & Jill and the rest of the family.
