I've shared many a table with John & Mary at Foxwoods over the years.

I haven't gotten down there very often these past few years, as other things have taken priority in my life.

This post is the first I learned of Mary's passing, and it has floored me.

I always enjoyed the conversations that we would have, whether they were at the table or during breaks in a tournament.

Mary was a wonderful person.....full of kindness and life.

I don't claim close friendship with either, but always considered them warm, kindred souls in a sea of cold strangers in the poker room, and always sought them out for their company when they were there.

John, my deepest sympathy goes out to you on your loss, and I hope that we get the opportunity to meet up again one of these days to talk about the 'old times' there at Foxwoods.
