I feel so lucky to have known and loved Mary since the 8th grade. We spent alot of time together and as we grew older we grew a little apart. As we grew old we continued our friendship. She and Shirley came to NC to visit and we had a great time. I'm so glad she decided to go to our 50th Class Reunion. Everyone was so happy to see her. Mary never, ever said a bad thing about anyone. You had a wonderful mother and I know how much you will miss her. Like me and many others, you will always have happy memories. Rest in Peach my dear friend.
