I grew up as family friends as my parents were good friends of theirs we spent a lot of time doing things together. They also went to Arkansas and Southern Missouri yearly for pickup loads of watermelons and cantaloupe to sell make homemade ice cream and play cards up into the we hours of morning. We all were very close as a family that did a lot of things together. Mary also watched me as I was growing up and was like a second mom to me. She will be sadly missed by all.
