I remember growing up with her children on 16th St. Her youngest daughter is my best friend. We knew Mary as "Doll" which is what we called and knew her as. She was a doll and a sweet lady. Condolences from your "sister" Lace and the Booth family. Just know that no one grieves the same way and there is no time frame on how long a person should grieve. Take time to grieve, cry, scream, or shout. Always in our prayers.Love you all,Delace Dyson (Lace Booth)
