Bob,

We're so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. And, we are very sorry we can't be there with you for the memorial.

Mary was always so sweet and optimistic. And she was always so kind to all of us. Spencer is already 16, but still hangs onto the Cheerios book--with the warm inscription, that Mary gave to him when he was just a little guy. We remember her stories about the civil rights movement and the long lovely letters she would send, catching us up on your wonderful family. It has always saddened us that we weren't able to get together more often once you moved from Austin. Mary always had a special place in my heart because she shared a May11th birthday with my mom. Mary's passing leaves the world a little dimmer without her infectious smile. She will be greatly missed.

Love,

Janet, Mark, and Spencer
