For My Friend Mary
We are losing a generation… the greatest one, I am told. My heart is sad about this because these people are the staples of our world. They are the foundation, and the wisdom. They are the examples of faith, and family...selfless love, and character. This week my friend Mary Knoll died from Parkinson’s disease, leaving … Continue reading For My Friend Mary
