We only met Mary this year when we began to deliver Meals on Wheels, but we both quickly began to love seeing her every week. Unfailingly gracious, always cheerful, and warmly concerned to know about our families and how our lives were going no matter how challenging her own life was, she was the embodiment of generosity and kindness.
