Mary was such a nice person, but I haven't seen her for so long. I wish I had known she was in Eudora and I would have been visiting her each month. I have been visiting Ella (James) Calderwood for several years at
Medical Lodge. I am so sorry for your loss, but you have wonderful memories of your mother. Vi Gottstein, Tecumseh, Ks.
