Our sincerest condolence and deepest sympathy to the Days and Riouse Families from the Entire Baskin Family.
God gained an Angel when he called Mary home to be with Him. Mary and I were High School, East Wynnton, and Vocation Tech Friends. We, along with other friends from Wynnton, enjoyed many growing up memories. Tommie C, her sons, and her grands were her greatest Loves. My prayers are with you guys. She will truly be missed. Rest on in Paradise Mary, we shall see each other again...Much Love, Marianne Baskin Dixon

Mary and I shared much in our younger days. She and Tommy were the ideal couple. I was blessed to be maid of honor at the wedding. Mary was a hard worker, but most of all she loved her family and friends. I will truly miss her. We didn't talk as much, but once seeing each other it was like old times. Going to miss you Mary Day.
