October 4, 2017 at 5:05 pmWhen I was small I remember Aunt Mary coming to visit my mom, Velma Davidson Teeter. She had beautiful long red hair and cackled when she laughed. I have visited her and Sondra and Ronnie and Janet several times at Mary’s apartment in Ozark, MO. She was still a joy to be around with her storytelling. I was hoping she would live to celebrate her 100th birthday.
