Mary attended the 50th Reunion of our Class of 1952 in 2002. At that time she wrote in our Remembering Book: "The events that have meant the most to me in the past fifty years are: my wedding, the births of my children, my childrens' graduation and mariages and the births of my grandchildren." Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
