I am so sorry for your loss. I met Miss Mary when I joined the Southwest Extension Homemakers Club. She was a wonderful light to all who met her. Her memory will always be so valuable to me. She was loved by so many and that love will live on in all she touched.
In Sincere Love,

We live in Glade Corners Retirement Community and loved Mary so much. We shared meals with her from time to time. And we attended her 90th birthday party here at Glade Corners. Our fellowship with her will be missed, but we will always cherish her gentle, loving smile and Christian spirit forever.
