2 Comments Steve Weakley November 1, 2018 at 7:26 pmMary Sue was a fantastic lady and she had a great life. I really enjoyed playing bridge with her and having her threaten to kick me in my vestibule when I got sassy. I will miss hearing about her life experiences and my wife and I send our deepest condolences to all of her family.

I enjoyed doing Mrs. Boyd’s hair for several years
She was a good friend I enjoyed being around
She taught me lots of things about life and how to pick yourself up and go on, even when times are tough
