    Mary was such a sweet friend. She would always walk down the hall in our building and stop and visit. She loved to stop and help me when I was working a jigsaw puzzle. We would laugh about how hard some of them were. She sure will be missed when we get together and visit and she won’t be there. Heaven gained a beautiful angel.
