Laura, I too have to say what a beautiful turn of phrase you used in describing Mary's passing.........."She stopped breathing here and took the next breath somewhere else." That's very powerful and the kind of strong image that makes death easier to see.
We all loved Mary and it comes as no surprise that her friends there were such wonderful folks as well. We were blessed with her presence here and want you to feel free to come here anytime as well. We talk folk music but we just plain talk a lot as well about anything and everything. Come here anytime....you are mightily welcome to pull up a keyboard and sit a spell with us.
And whenever I take that next breath somewhere else, I hope I run into Mary right away ...... and we can share the latest raunchy jokes.
