THanks for the well wishes folks. Mary was my father's wife after he remarried. We weren't all that close but she always treated my sister and I well and her 3 daughters always thought of us as brother and sister. They always liked having a "brother" . No news yet this morning but when it happens she will be missed. She was a nice lady. She worked at Wal Mart up until a couple years ago and loved it. She sold Avon forever and always gave me a collector beer stein for Christmas.Damn, my stepmother is not doing well. Pretty much unresponsive for the last few days. Hospice is involved. Doesn't sound good.
