Condolences

My sweet Mary, I will always remember the day back in 1976, when I first met you, I was just 20 years old looking for a room to rent, your sweet Dale answered the door bell, took my coat and asked me to wait for you until you arrived home from work at St. Mikes. When you came home, you greeted me with open arms, as if you had known me for years. Dale cooked a lovely pot roast and Mary you sat me down to enjoy a lovely dinner with you and Dale. I rented a room from you for few years until I met my husband to be and married. You were the sweetest, gentle kind hearted person I have ever known. May God bless you sweet Mary and rest in peace. I love you.
