Bill and my husband played golf together for many years; Mary and I became friends through that connection. Although we saw little of one another after the "boys" passed away, Mary and I would always greet one another with great affection. She contributed much to God's world - not just through her volunteer work, but also by spreading that warm, sweet smile.
