Mary

Was shocked to hear you talking about me on your podcast today. I am sincerely sorry that I offended you and upset you that much. I should not have said what i said, there was no way for me to say that and not offend or hurt you, when I typed that I didn’t realize how much it would. Wish you all the best.
