Mary describing Dr McLeod's end of the day
Just seeing Mary's picture makes me smile. I will miss her. She accepted anyone's friendship with a generous spirit. She loved her family, always talking about Tony, Sandy, and Becky, and her grandchildren. How proud she was they were doing well with work, and how they would take care of her needs. She would tell of her daughter and son, and Bill who were passed away. She would ofter tell me of how Bill had helped recruit their pastor, Harris, at Sinking Creek Baptist Church.
She loved to talk about her bowling buddies and her own success at bowling. She never tired of talking about the doctors she worked for and considered them as her own children. She loved to bring her homemade sour dough bread and share with Dr. Lurie. She said Dr. Bailey's wife, Elizabeth, let the starter die and just had to get another one because he liked it so much. She told us how at the end of the day, Dr. McLead would put on a cap and pull on the sides and cross his eyes and say, "This is the one you have been waiting on Mary, the last one of the day." Even as much as she would be happy to share things going on in her life, she was always a good listener and advisor any time you needed her. A life well-lived is how you could describe Mary.
