Mary was a thoughtful, caring lady. She always wrote notes of appreciation to people who did little things that brought her joy. As a recipient of some of those notes, she touched my life. I will always value her friendship.
Also, Mary was very competitive when she played poker with our bi-weekly poker group. She was the only woman in the group but was a very astute player. In fact she was my nemesis. Many times she relieved me of my nickels, dimes, quarters, and even dollar bills!
When someone you like passes on, the absence leaves a hole in your life. I will miss Mary greatly!
