I am so sad to hear the news that Mary T. has died. Since I met her in my teens when I babysat for Traci, she has remained a special friend. Across the miles, I send my condolences to her sweet husband, Orland and her loving daughter and family, Traci, Bill, Christopher and Jonathan. She loved you dearly and my heart breaks for your loss. With sympathy and love,
