I am so saddened to hear of my great friend and co-worker’s passing. Mary and I spend many hours in our greenhouse together making cuttings and sowing seeds. We shared our life experiences freely with each other and became close friends. She was always genuinely concerned about our family’s welfare especially when my brother Alan was so ill back in the seventies. It is hard to believe she is gone. Thank you Anthony for thinking of me to let me know of your Moms passing. Our sympathy to all the family at this time.
Love Don and Donna Burnett
