TOM AND MARY AND THE PROPHET PORK

I dedicate this writing to one of my mother's sisters, my Aunt Mary Keyes. She and her second husband, Tom Keyes were good-hearted and kind people. Tom died before Mary. Before Mary died she developed diabetes, and lost a leg to the ravages of this disease. She always craved protein on all of her visits to us, but ate many carbs instead.
