My aunt Mary was someone special. We lived far away in Oklahoma, so I didn't get to see her often. However, I remember every visit fondly, with walks to the ocean, trips up to Gloucester to eat at one of Aunt Mary and Uncle George's favorite seafood restaurants, playing cards in the kitchen and going into Boston to visit the historical sites. It is funny that during my life, I have had more than one person call me "Mary," and when I've told them that my name isn't Mary, they've said, "Well, you look like a Mary." I've always hoped it was because I look a little like her.
