Mary and I have been friends for so long. Our children grew up together, we have worked, bowled, shopped and laughed together. We used to make a mean punch at the Christmas Party for the Speedway Press Gang. So many memories to be cherished. Mary has also been a member of the William S. Monaghan Post 268 American Legion Auxiliary for 25 years. We will all miss Mary so much. My prayers are with her family.
