I was out of town and just missed Mary´s services. I´ve known her since I was a teen and was friends with her son. These many years later we had a lovely friendship mostly at Mass and other services. You would never guess her age based on her activities. She had a great sense of humor. I loved her and will miss her . I´m just sorry I was unable to pay my respects to her and her family. Rest in peace Mrs. Kelly!
