So sad to hear of Mary’s passing. We loved her! Danny and I have lots of wonderful memories of going over to her house there in SB. She came to visit when I had Angela and brought her a little outfit (I still have it!). She was so happy I had a little girl.
Praying that all the wonderful memories you all have bring you some comfort during this difficult time. 🙏
We are so very sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers to you all. ❤️
