    Dear Wils and family: You have my deepest sympathies at the passing of dear sweet Mary Margaret. So many wonderful memories of fellowship at Faith and friendship that she and I enjoyed with Barbara as we shopped and lunched over the years. Words are inadequate and my emotions run deep as I write to you. Know that my love and prayers are with you as you try to adjust to life without such an amazing woman.
