Mary and Pete were our next door neighbors in our lovey neighborhood. Diane and I played together. I remember Mary being in the kitchen a lot cooking and baking. she was always gracious to my family. I have sweet memories of her.

Although I was not able to attend my Grandmothers funeral, I thought about her the whole day. I remember all the wonderful times we had on holidays and special days, and how she always defended me if mom got too critical. She lived a long, fruitful life and now can rest with the angels.

When I lived in Harvy and went to TTHS 52-55 I had gone out with Mary Ann at that time.
I remember visiting the tavern and the daughters and son.
Mary senior you have lived a long time.
My condolences to the family.
See them later.
