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.
