Subject: Obit: Mary Hamilton, wife of Frank
From: Stilly River Sage

I have not personally met Frank (Stringsinger) and Mary Hamilton, but by the posts of sadness placed on Frank's facebook page today I can see that she clearly touched many lives. I haven't found an obituary yet, but I'm starting this thread so as information is available it can be shared. Mary passed away two days ago. Frank, our condolences and best wishes to you. Mary sounds like she was an absolute gem without equal.

I am so sorry to read this. Please know that it touches many hearts, Frank.

...and my wife's favorite ballad is in my head....

♫Last night there were four Marys..
This night there'll be but three....♫

So sorry, Frank, that your dearest Mary has gone. That's one of the worst what can happen. Wish you strongness and personally all the best,

Manfred from Germany (therefore, sorry for words which might be misunderstood).
