My sister, Mickie Thornton Walstad, and Mary Elizabeth were best friends for over 50 years. My sister passed away in January of 2004, which was devastating for our family which included Mary Elizabeth. Now that Mary is gone, our family now mourns yet another family member. Mary Liz, as Mickie called her, was a lovely, considerate, Christian woman. On behalf of my mother, Evelyn Thornton, and myself, our heartfelt sympathy to the family. I like to think that Mickie and Mary are together again.
