I thought of her several times during the day. When I saw a dog, when I saw a beautiful cloud formation, when I remembered all the AngelCheeks she'd sent me.
Mary was the most generous spirit I've ever known. She must have sent me a dozen birthday cards one time, making sure I had cards from each of my pets! And I have a collection now of wonderful AngelCheeks figurines, thanks to her kindness.
Talk to Mary for a few minutes and you'd know she had 2 true loves: Mike, who she met in college and KNEW she'd marry someday, and her dogs. Mary's love of dogs led her to partner in a dog rescue business. When there were no homes to be found, Mary took them in. I believe at top count, she had 13 dogs. She said that 1 dog even jumped over her fence ...INTO her yard to be there. I don't doubt it. I used to wonder about scooping all that poop. Surely she hired someone to help. Not at all, Mary did it all herself.
I'm sure today she's still there with Mike and the "kids." I hope they continue to feel her love.
Love and light to you, Mary,
Lisa
