[Mldxcc] Mary Cherry NA6E SK

[Bill]

Another very wonderful person has left us. Mary NA6E was a member of MLDXCC
for a while; I don't know if NCCC was ever honored with her membership.

Few people remember Mary as a contester, but she and hubby Mark WT6P 
came to Yankee Hill several years ago and won the RU RTTY contest for 
the Pacific Division. Look it up, I think they used my call. Good enough?

Mary was a top quality person in all respects. We enjoyed their company 
here so much that Ginny and I often visited Mark and Mary, (who referred to 
themselves as the M&M twins)at their home in the south side of Sacramento.

We learned during one visit that Mary had been diagnosed with some awful 
form of cancer and was undergoing therapy; Ginny gave her a simple 
little hat for her bald head. Mary didn't look inward, she hugged Ginny 
and thanked her profusely. Tears flowed. That was Mary. There's so much more...

Mary died peacefully on June 15.

Rest in peace my very dear friend.
