I have many fond memories of Mary when I was growing up. We lived next door to her family for several years but there were many fond memories after that time as well. It is hard to fully grasp that people who have been a part of one's life are truly gone. Please accept my sympathy and that of my wife and kids for her loss.
Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
