It was 7 years ago when Mary and David moved next door to us. We were impressed by her sincere freindliness and really sweet smile! Sometime later, I happened to be pruning the trees between our houses. I could not but hear the happy sounds coming from her open window. I heard her children laughing and squeeling with joy and big splashes in the bathtub and Mary laughing and having so much fun, as they were playing so sweetly. I realized what an AWESOME MOTHER she was and how much joy her children gave her!!!! Mary was one in a million!
We are so sorry for your loss of such a stellar loving wife and mother.Your family is in our prayers.
