This is Debbie (McClary) Devereux. I was so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Unfortunately we lost touch of each other over the years; however, I have many fond childhood memories of all the fun we had together in Hackettstown. Wishing you God’s comfort and peace during this time. I am sure your mom and dad are rejoicing in seeing her again.
