We just found Mary's online obituary and when we were given the news of Mary's passing, it greatly saddened us. Mary was always very kind to us and I was friends with you and her, Sonny since 1959. Thinking of you all.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers and our hearts are with you and your family in this time of great sorrow. God bless. Donna, Michele and Geraldine
My love to Sonny and their family as well as Ella and Guy
