SO SORRY THAT I DID NOT KNOW OF " MISS MARY'S PASSING....
SHE, AS MY KINDERGARTENER TEACHER, WAS ONE OF MY MOST MEMORABLE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES.. I ADMIRED HER STRONG , FRIENDLY PERSONA, AND IT HAS STAYED WITH ME ALL MY 65 YEARS OF LIFE...
I WAS FORTUNATE A FEW YEARS BACK, JUST AFTER MIKE'S DEATH, TO STOP BY HER HOUSE, CATCH HER AT HOME; AND TO GET TO VISIT WITH HER.. SHE CAME TO THE BACK DOOR; AND I SAID, " HI MISS MARY, HOW ARE YOU ? " SHE TILTED HER HEAD, WITH THAT TWINKLE IN HER EYE, AND I COULD SEE SHE WAS TRYING TO PUZZLE OUT WHO I WAS... AFTER ALL SHE HADN'T BEEN MY TEACHER SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD... AFTER A MINUTE I TOLD HER WHO I WAS; AND SHE SAID, " YES, A FEW MINUTES MORE OF LOOKING AT YOUR EYES AND I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED WHO YOU WERE. "..... HA...
SHE INVITED ME IN AND WE SAT AND TALKED.. I ASKED HER HOW SHE HAD BEEN DOING.. AND SHE TOLD ME OF HER HUSBAND'S PASSING.... SHE WAS STILL SO DEVISTATED ABOUT MIKE'S PASSING, IT WAS HARD FOR HER TO TALK ABOUT HIM... BUT AS WE TALKED I ASKED HER; " HOW DID YOU TWO MEET ? " THEIR STORY WAS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A MOVIE SCRIPT... THEY HAD MET BY CHANCE.. SHE SAID.. HE WAS ON THE TRAIN COMING THRU GRANDIN, MO, WITH RETURNING SOLDIERS, SHE WAS AT A KIND OF TOWN DINNER PARTY / GET-TOGETHER AND THE SOLDIERS HAD BEEN TOLD TO COME JOIN THE PARTY......
SHE FOUND OUT AT A LATER DATE, THAT MIKE HAD SEEN HER ACROSS THE ROOM AND TOLD HIS BUDDY; " THAT'S THE GIRL I'M GOING TO MARRY AND HAVE FOR MY WIFE" ... NOW MARY WAS SET ON GETTING HER TEACHING DEGREE AT THAT TIME, WHICH WAS IN ST LOUIS.. BUT MIKE DIDN'T GIVE UP, HE PURSUED HER AND DID EVENTUALLY WIN HER OVER AND MADE HER HIS WIFE...... THAT WAS ONE DEVOTED COUPLE... RIP MARY,, HUGS, FOREVER YOUR STUDENT. YVONNE...

I got to know your Mom when my Dad was in the nursing home here in Doniphan. She was a very sweet lady and always had an encouraging word for us. We were blessed to have gotten to know them both. My prayers are with you.
