It is rare and special to have a friendship that spans the time of 45 years. We did so many things together as families living right down the street. I’ll always remember the good times and conversations that took place at my mom’s and dad’s home. We will miss Mary very much and send our heartfelt condolences to her family. Love, Julie and Jeff
