I first met Mary when I was a teenager as Bunnie and I were great friends. Later as an adult I became a licensed hair stylist and I was her go to girl for the tightest perm possible We shared so much laughter and tears as well. I will treasure our time together always. I'm so thankful she's reunited with her love Johnny. Prayers to all the family❤
