Dennis, please accept our condolences on the loss of Mary. Mary was not only my aunt, but my godmother as well. She was always willing to spend time with us growing up....she took us ice-skating, swimming, on picnics, to the zoo. We used to all pile into "Bessie", her trusty grey Ford Falcon, and off we'd go. She and Gram took me to Florida one year on vacation with them, driving endless days on Skyline Drive (or so it seemed to me at 7 years old).....trees, trees, more trees! What great memories. Mary was a woman of great faith; there was no problem or situation that a novena couldn't resolve. Once she moved to North Carolina, we did not see her often enough, but she was always in our thoughts. Rest In Peace, Mary. Anne
