Mary and I have been close friends since we were in
Grade 1 together, and we were in the same class at school right through until we finished our nurses training. We were both little blonde Quintuplets, in sunbonnets and matching dresses, when Stoney Creek United Church put on a play, at the height of the Quintuplet craze. Apparently there were no little dark haired girls in the church, so they went with blondes. Mary had a shower for me when I got married, and she has always been very dear to me. Our lives have kept us very far apart, but when we could meet at our class reunions, it was always very special. She will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to her family.
