Many many quality pinots there.
I saw Mary's obituary in the paper yesterday and instantly a name and a face from the past popped up. I am the granddaughter of Ruth & Sterling Briggs, who were friends with Mary & Everett. I remember having very fond memories of them, although they are a little fuzzy. I think my grandparents played cards with them and went on trips together. The one person who could tell me more has also passed on. My mother, Barb Mowry, died 16 years ago of cancer. I can picture Everett's face when I think of him, and I remember Mary always had a very warm and inviting smile. I wanted to pass on my condolences to the family.In deepest sympathy,Shelly Mowry
Mary and Everett were such special people. We so enjoyed being neighbors and visiting daily. Everett was so much fun and always had a story or experience to share with us. He would always joke around with our children and inquire about how they were doing. Mary had such a green thumb and taught me so much about plants and gardening. She loved her back yard on Finley Ct. and was always weeding and planting.They were like family to us and we were very blessed to have had them in our lives. We have many special memories to cherish.Our sympathy and prayers are with you, John and Roberta.
