I have many Mary Memories that make me smile and here is just one.
I had tried to catch Mary for lunch, but her latest job kept her busy. And suddenly we had a date! She emailed a request to include Susan, and that was a bonus. Then a second request came: How about taking a sandwich to Susan’s home? She would furnish chips and drinks. Another plus! We oohed and aahed over Susan’s new home then enjoyed a three hour lunch! Great fun. We decided to meet once a month for a brown bag lunch and rotate homes. Then Mary’s sister moved to Dallas, and we asked her to join us. We became the Fabulous Foursome—at least that is what I called us because our lunches were so much fun and were very stimulating. I am sure we will meet again someday after Covid is under control, and we will remember and miss Mary.
