Kathy, Mike and family, I’m an so sorry to hear this, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. Mary was always that bright and shining person who always had a smile on her face when she saw you, always ready to share her life and family current events of the family members that I knew and grew up with and their children. She will be another bright ray of sunshine up in heaven and sing with the angels. Again, thoughts and prayers to the family.
