Just learning about Mary´s death. I´m sorry that we didn´t have more contact later on. We were roommates in college and I traveled with her to Florida to visit her grandmother probably in the late 60s or early 70s. I only have fond and warm memories of her. She was gentle and easy to get along with.

So sorry for your loss. Mary and I were best friends through grade school and junior high, living almost across the street from one another. I have fond memories of the fun we had.
