Roy and family, I was just browsing the obituaries and saw that Mary had died. I was sad to read that. Just today we were with Scott's family and had driven past the Shell Lake Campground I told them that this was where Mary and Roy had gone after leaving Elkhorn. We all loved Mary. She was always a good friend and campground neighbor. I hadn't seen her probably since I retired. Much sympathy to all of you, I know how much all of you loved her. Boy has your family grown, I don't think I could keep all the names and birthdays straight. Love, June Lawrence08/11/2011 1:49 AM
