Mary was such a great person. She was always smiling and happy. I am glad I got to visit with her a couple of years ago when I was in Ohio on business. She couldn't make it to Texas to see the family any more. She used to tell me great stories about growing up with my dad, her older brother. She told me many stories that are my Erwin family legacy. I will miss her.

I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was such a good friend to my mother years ago - Marie Downing Maxwell. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
