My love and prayers to all Mary's family.I was so blessed to know her for the past 8 years. Mary took my mother under her wing. I moved my parents to Kenosha from Beaver Dam. This was so difficult for mom as my father was diagnosed with Lung Cancer,and leaving all her lifetime friends. Mary not only watched over mom but assisted me in my fight for Cancer with Relay for Life. I love her laugh, smile and dry sense of humor.I know 1st hand the empty feeling, please know memories and prayers will get you through. My Love to all of you.Your Friend, Debi Nutting
