Our sympathy to Marys family. We often played together when we were children. We lived on a near by farm. We often swam and fished in the Turkey River. We also made great mud pies, decorated with lovely weeds. I havent seen Mary in a long time, but I know she took good care of my dad when he was in the nursing home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tom Peggy (McGowan) Mennie.
