Ron, I am so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. My condolences to you and your family.
Marry was my absolute favorite! I would make it a habit to go give her a hug and put her two bear on each side of her every night and tell her bye and goodnight. She was a hoot and a half! She always made me smile! I loved to give her a hard time every now and then and she would come up with some witty comment back! She was great! I loved to call her my adopted grandma. I would always tell her if she could fit in my purse, I wou take her home with me. Sherwood me to get a bigger purse! Such a sweet woman! Sending prayers to the family. Thank you for choosing centralia manor, she blessed my life a lot. And now every time I was the game channel, I'll be thinking of her!
