In 1994 my family moved across the street from Mary and Harold it was not long before I realized what a blessing this new neighbor was. Before long Mary, Harold and their beautiful family became more like an extended family. Mary especially has touched my heart. I will miss her deeply she was always there for me with a listening ear, an open heart and wonderful advice. With all sincerity I can say that Mary was a very special person and one who's example we should all follow.
