Dear Family; Mary was our neighbor on E6th. St. for a few yrs; Bernie , of course, was there much longer; we enjoyed seeing them walking to church together, or just for a walk. She knew me most of my life, so she was an old friend & a very dear one. Our deepest sympathy to you & all who loved her! Roberta McCabe Morningstar(Bob McCabe's oldest) Keith Hoffman
