I shared my office with Mary when I first started working at the Health dept. She loved her snacks! What a sweet soul. After I left, she stayed in contact with me and we would go to our favorite Golden Corral for lunch for years! She made sure to fix Joe a plate. Such a wonderful friend, will miss our small talks. Praying for the family.
