"When I was a young man Mary treated me like somebody. She did not treat me like the wild teenager that I was. She always gave me a place to stay when I needed it. A shoulder to cry on, a hug when I needed it, and a scolding when I was wrong and knew better. Mary was my first love, not physical, emotional she trusted me with her children thats love and trust. Kaye & Bryan I'm sorry.
