I guess it doesn't really matter at what point in her life that contacts were made , but that the lasting impressions of her are still the same ---- of a warm, loving , caring , servant of God , who welcomed ALL into her sphere of joy, laughter , and comfort ! She was so special to everyone she ever knew in a personal , gratifying way .
I recall the many trips to SC , often en route to DisneyWorld ( some at Christmastime ) , our base for attending the Olympics in Atlanta in '96 , and many visits up north in Potter Co. in which I had the ultimate privilege of sharing her hospitality and pleasant, encompassing companionship . This created a treasured volume of sweet memories of times spent together that I will revere always !
Her love of dolls and miniatures inspired me to have my brother Ken produce small replicas of her home in Potter Co. and the Pink House in Wellsville ----- as tokens of her life's dreams .
The food , nurturing , and love she offered so freely mark her supreme goal in life to enhance all that passed her way . I feel so lucky to have experienced her charms and charities , albeit in the latter portion of her life .
What she meant to all of us is a testimonial to her very being and so worthy of our admiration & love for all time . That spirit lives on in each of her offspring as the overwhelming tribute to her humble greatness !

Roger,
I had no idea it was you behind the doll houses. Which ones were they?
Thank you for your sweet words.
Love,
Mary
