I remember the first time I saw Mary. She was about 6 months old in a playpen in her parents’ upstairs apartment in Baltimore. It was a hot summer. Nobody had air conditioning in those days so the windows were open. I was worried that Rita may fall out, but my city cousins were already street smart. Our mothers made pallets on the floor for us to sleep on that night, while daddy and Ed visited the local pubs. Another time, I remember we rode to Baltimore and brought Alma, Rita, and Mary back with us. Both girls were in the backseat with me and prone to car sickness. As we were riding over the bridge between Maryland and Virginia, both girls threw up. Alma and the children would come to King George unusually a week or two in the summers. One summer, all the children were with her at our old farmhouse on Route 3 in King George. Those were such happy days for all of us. My father, James, and Alma were birds of a feather and absolutely loved each other. The last two times I saw Mary was at Doris’s funeral in January 2016 and then 3 months later at Michael’s funeral. My brother, Larry, and I sat with Mary and Chuck during Michael’s service. We shared many happy and sad times together. Rest now, sweet Mary, in Heavenly peace.
Sending love and condolences to your family your King George cousins.
Cynthia (and Larry and Wayland)
My aunt mary was the funniest crazyest woman i knew she always made all family stuff fun . I was very young when I had my son he spent 17days in icu n when i brought him home the 1st week she would come down my house n help me from 10 to12 do bottles 4 me watch Robert y i would shower the nurse came by to check on him and everything. The nirse was asking me alot of questions i remember she said r these questions because she a kid not married she was laughing the nurse didn't even know what 2 say .
