Mary Schoephoester and I met when we moved to Cromwell Hills, in Convent Station, NJ in 1964. We loved the friends in the neighborhood of 200 homes and especially enjoyed the Cromwell Pool and the many parties throughout the year. Mary always had a beautiful tan. I recall Mary and Bill's kids so well - Kirk, Kim, and Randy. I admired Kim's pretty bedroom once and Mary said, "We fixed it up suitable for a princess and she always kept it like that!"
Mary and I made trips to New York City together to attend the theater. Now, I live in California, and over the last ten or so years we have frequently spoken on the phone.
She brought me joy when she expressed glee at receiving my Christmas card and letter last year. It made me realize that it was worth the effort.
I loved this dear friend and will miss her greatly, especially her wonderful attitude and joyful laugh!
