This has been a difficult last two months for me as my friend, Mary Jane Wells, was killed in a car accidenton Oct 2. She had just dropped off her granddaughter at school and was on the way home north of Waverly when a truck with a flat bed and pulling a trailer with lawn equipment, ran a stop sign on Waverly Road. The driver never even applied his brakes. Mary has raised two of her own children and three adopted children. She and her husband, Brad, were in the process of raising 5 granddaughters. They were just 60 this year and Brad had retired. They had dreams of getting a newer, larger home to raise their little girls. Brad is continuing to care for four of the girls and the baby is being cared for by her mother. I miss Mary and hope to be around for the family to help as much as I can.
