The last time I saw Mary V, was at Grace O’Neil’s furneral. She was sightless at that time, but she remembered my voice after many years of me not seeing her.I couldn’t believe she remembered my voice….What a gal!
Prayers for Mary V and to the family…….
Tim,
My thoughts are with you and your extended family during this time. While I never met Mary V, you can know a person by the friends she keeps and the children she raised. Mary was very blessed.
Love,
Bob
