Beloved Cousin
November 1, 2021
My heart is full with memories that always bring a smile when I think of Mary. Growing up as children, sharing Thanksgiving family dinners at Aunt Dorothy's house, and matching dresses that someone in the family made for us. I'll have to ask Regina and Theresa about that one. As children, Mary made me smile and laugh and was enormously entertaining. Mary was loving and fierce and courageous and had a presence you could feel as soon as she entered a room. I admired and respected her deeply....still do. And she still makes me smile. I will hold a space in my heart for those memories always.
