What can you say other than Mary was a great lady that this world needs more of. We always enjoyed talking to her when we would mow her yard. My granddaughter (Peyton) always wanted to go because Mrs Poulos would always come to the door and invite her in while we mowed, needless to say she was spoiled by the many tea party’s they would have while we were there. I pray that the Lord will wrap the whole family up in his arms and lead you thru this time of loss. John,Jackie,Lauren ,Tyler and Peyton Sparks
