I have many wonderful memories of Mary but the most poignant one was when she stayed by me to get through the passing of my father, known as “Rocky.”
I was too late to be with Rocky at a rehab facility and missed his passing. I called Mary to let her know that Rocky had past and she came right away to help me. I called the funeral home and they came to take him to the funeral home. It was an ordeal and Mary helped me with every step.
She even stayed with me at the Funeral Home as I went through the never-ending paperwork. I don’t remember who made dinner, Mary or Tom or both, but they fed me and we reminisced about Rocky around the kitchen table. Without Mary’s “Force of Nature” I wouldn’t have made it through that time.
I will treasure all of the memories of our fabulous Thanksgiving dinners that we had at Mary and Tom’s home. We had so much fun with the games we played around the table after too much pie!
I will say I did envy her amazing ability to sew the most beautiful pieces of art.
What an extraordinary woman who could do it all!
With loving thoughts,
