    I am truly saddened to read of Mary's death. My only relationship with her was during tax time but I very much looked forward to seeing her smiling face each year. She was such a lovely and gracious lady who always took the time to ask about my family when we met. I will miss having her brighten my day. My heartfelt condolences to her family.
