Dear Family and Friends,
You all know that I loved Mary as a close friend growing up in the Birney St. neighborhood. Mary always made me laugh. We had lots of fun around the kitchen table laughing and at sleep overs. I was saddened to hear of her passing. She was a big part of my childhood and I will think back fondly of those years. I remember we did a science project together at Hughes School. We were standing next to the teacher when he made a derisive comment about "that pile of mud" and who did it belong to? (We had forgotten to put our names on it.) Mary grabbed and shushed me. So then we ran home on our lunch hour. With the help of her Mom, Joyce, we made a second Science Project - this one about the "5 Senses". We broke a wine glass to show the sense of touch, dipped a cotton ball in perfume, etc. We took that project back to school and got a decent grade after all. Good memories have been floating back. She was a lovely, caring person who is now at peace. XOX~ Pat Rehmus Sand
