Kathryn Harkman says
I am so sorry for your loss. When I was a child I loved following Mary and my sister Diana around. Two years ago I ran into Mary at the Cokato Corn Carnival (because Diana pointed her out to me) and I ran across the street to talk to her. I felt like a little girl all over again because I always admired Mary as a little girl. It was fun seeing her posts on Facebook too! You will be missed. I wish I was able to be in MN to celebrate her life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today. Sending love to all of you. Kathryn Harkman
