I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. Mary was such a special person. She was always so kind to my children, especially my oldest son, who she let have a running tab at Ot’s all through his years at Clayton High. She was always a good friend to me when our boys went through the Clayton School system together. She and John were such a great couple. I had tremendous respect for both of them. I miss John and will miss Mary, too My depends condolences to the family.
