Sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. She is feeling much better now. Any time I spoke with her she wanted to tell me what Sid and her sons were doing from work education and their hunting trips. She was very proud of all of you. Dawn Tucker MS group friend
Sid and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mary had been a good friend of mine when I lived in Indiana. We liked to go to lunch together but only at restaurants that she didn’t have to BACK OUT of a parking space. She was funny that way… My prayers will be for you Sid and your boys as you go through your journey of Grief. Sincerely, Stacy (formerly Oberly) Winckles, An MS Support Group Friend
