I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I knew her from when I spent several years at Medical Lodge caring for my parents. She was a kind, loving, very special woman that touched my heart as well as the hearts of those who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Ralph.
Mary was my Sunday School teacher when I was a little girl. We loved her so much. Sending thoughts and prayers to each of you. May the time not seem so long until you are all reunited.
