We are so sorry to read about the passing away of Mary.
She was such a wonderful neighbor when we lived next to her and her family in Tempe about 30 years ago.
Our sincere condolences to the whole family.

Doug, my heart is broken that Mary has been called home so soon. She has been on my mind for the past six months. I wanted to let Mary know, how much I truly loved her. She was beautiful and anything she chose to do she did perfectly. I felt so safe knowing Mary was there for me and she sure looked after Gary at the practice.
Please know that I feel for your incredible loss. My love to Russ and Christy.

When we married 61 years ago, Mary was our Matron-of-Honor. We have been friends from preteen years on to the present. Friends Forever. See you on the other side.
