Here's...To Mary.

Went to Waverly, Iowa....today, to say Goodbye, to my Friend, 

Mary Sellon. 

{Dark Horse Antiques}

{The Kitten, on Mary's Memorial...is Munchkin. 

Mary, and Tom...got him, from us...about 10 years ago. 

They...saved his little Life. 

<3 <3 <3 

He was one, of two Kittens, the Old...Old...Mama Cat, delivered.

He, was deformed...and, tiny.

John, was so worried, after I sent him Home...with Mary, and Tom.

{John..Loved Critters. <3 }

I, told John...to Never Ever...Worry about that little Kitten.

Mary, would take Care of Him...better Than Anyone, on The Planet.

Indeed, She Did.

<3

He Survived...and is Thriving.

 Loved...More...than John could Imagine.

<3 <3 <3 

I was told, at Mary's Funeral, today... that Tom, when...Munchkin Crosses The Rainbow Bridge, will bring him, to be with Mary.

<3 <3 <3 

Mary...in Her Own...'Hatter Hat'.

Mary's Friend, Candy...texted me, yesterday...

said, she was going to 'Dress' in Victorian Clothing, for Mary's Funeral, today...in Honor, of Mary.

I, don't have Victorian Clothes...

but, 

I dressed, in Mad Hatter Attire.

; )

Dusted off my Hat... and Proudly wore it, to Honor...Mary.

Mary, was wearing a Beautiful...Black Hat, her Amazing Sisters, Laura, and Andrea...chose for her.

<3 <3 <3 

Mary...Loved Her Hats!

<3 

That Girl...Could Dress.

Wow!!!

Mary, {right, in Beautiful Victorian Attire}

 and...our Beautiful, Peg, 

at John's Memorial, in 2014.

<3 <3 <3 

When I think of Mary, well...

many thoughts travel through my mind.

Mary, was one of the Coolest Folks...I Know.

Kind, Caring....Giving.

Many years ago... I complemented Mary, on the coat she was wearing.

It was The Most Beautiful Thing...I'd Ever...Seen.

<3 <3 <3 

The next time Mary visited...the rabbit hole, she handed me a sack.

Inside...

was The Beautiful...Coat.

She gave it, to me.

I...was Absolutely...Blown Away. 

<3 <3 <3 

That was in 2013.

I...Wear It, Often... and Treasure...It.

Always...Will.

<3 <3 <3 

While driving to Mary's Funeral...

I was singing...

'Proud Mary',

 Jethro's...throaty ...Muscle Motor...and exhaust, seemed to sing...along, with me.

<3

On the way Home, I knew...I'd be writing a Blog, a short...one, {I'm pretty drained} 

about...

Mary.

I was trying to figure out, a Tune...to Play, for this Post.

Proud Mary...?

 Something, from Joplin..?

{Mary, kind of reminded me of Janis. : ) }

<3

then...

when I sat down to write...

I, Knew...

which Tune, to post...for Mary.

'You've Got a Friend'. 

<3 <3 <3 

I, Always...

always...

always...

Knew,

I had a Friend, 

'Mary'.

<3 <3 <3 

Mary, will be Greatly Missed, by Many.

Love...to You,

Mad Hatter. 

{Stopped on the way Home...picked up a small...bottle, of Patron.

Mary, and...I, shared Many Margaritas, over....Many Years. 

{I, knew...I'd get into All Kinds...of Trouble, with a larger, one. ; ) }

Had, to say 'Cheers', one...last Time, to Mary, 

with 'The Good Stuff' ; )
