We were so sorry to hear about Grandma Mary's passing (as kids we once asked what to call her and she said "Grandma Mary" and it stuck!) We often wondered about her and many times would see her walking down Milwaukee Avenue. We lost touch with her after she moved out of the old neighborhood. I remember her going to the beauty shop with mom and visiting grandma and grandpa's house there on Christiana. She was such a sweet person and we are honored to have known her. Rest in peace, dear Grandma Mary. Love Nancy, Kim, and Karen (Andersen)
