Bob,
  I am soo sorry to hear about Mary's passing.  She taught me alot about doing flowers.  She started off by asking me to come to her house to learn how to do floral arrangements, I must have been about 16 when I started this with her.  I found out years later that when I left her house after working with her, that she actually tore apart the arrangements I had created apart to redo them to how she wanted and not how I did them.  I will always remember her teachings, her tough love in work ethics and her love for me.  When she married you in 1988, it was the week before my 21st birthday and I knew she was soo excited and happy to be your wife.  I was also blessed to be part of your wedding by helping with the floral and setting up.  I really loved this woman you married.
PS. I was going to be at the service, but circumstances beyond my control kept me out of state until the morning of.
In God's Hands,
Patty (Reid) Sweeney
