I first met Mary during one Happy Hour at Marshview. She was pretty and fun and got everyone in the party spirit! She told me she loved to go to Johnny Harris and dance! Later, I became her Hospice Savannah volunteer and visited her several times when she always seemed very content. I am sure she is dancing at her heavenly party!
