Abraham Lincoln Tomb Documentary

Donna,

I think it's such a lovely idea that you and the others honor Mary that way. Sometimes I feel that visitors to the Lincoln Tomb overlook that unfortunate lady. It makes me happy that she is remembered, and I bet she is grateful too!

Mary spent the last months and weeks of her life in an upstairs room with the curtains drawn. Since she died in the middle of summer, I have also wondered if the heat and humidity contributed to speeding up the end. It must have been as suffocating as an oven in there, I've no idea how she and her caregivers could bear it!
