Dear friends and family, 

It is with much sadness to share that Mary passed away this afternoon. She fought a very hard fight against COVID. Kimmy, Heidi, Jason, Brian and myself were able to say goodbye. Some of the grandkids were able to FaceTime and say their goodbyes. I sat with dad while she was in the final moments.  Dad shared with me when he saw her for the first time. He told me all about their many vacations and how much Mary loved the ocean. He held her hand not always understanding what was going on and he was saying maybe she would still wake up. It was very hard to watch when he finally said goodbye to her. 

On Tuesday we will be making the arrangements and I will post this on her caring bridge please share the information. Right now tentatively we are looking at Sunday afternoon. 

Again we thank you all for your prayers over the last 30 days. 

Thank you 

Jim and the girls.
