Dearest Brother John, we are so very sorry for your loss. If ever two people did the Lord's work here on earth, it was surely the two of you. We will always remember Mary's big smile and warn hugs she always had to give. There was a time in our life that you reached out to Dennis and offered him help, when I was in the hospital with cancer. You were with us all the way. Many prayers were said for us by the two of you thru my ordeal. If we could be there to comfort you as you did us that day back in 2002, we would in a second. We have been out touch with the two of you but you have never, ever left our thoughts and our hearts. We want you to know that you will be in our prayers during all of this and we know that YOUR FAITH will sustain you. We pray for you and your family at this time because you not only lost a wife, but they have lost a mother, grandmother and a great role model for any one to follow. In Christian Love and Prayers, Dennis and Mary Isaac

My deepest condolences to the Lamb family, may you find comfort knowing that Mary is in God's memory and his promise in Isaiah 25:8 to soon cease all death and suffering.

Mrs. Lamb holds a wonderful place in everyone's heart at Red Oak, but my Mom, Geraldine Hoke will truly miss Mary Lamb. She loved her dearly.
I'm sure Mrs. Mary has already asked ," is there anything I can do" ( she will be missed.

My heart grieves for you all. Bro. And Mrs. Lamb hold very dear places in my heart. I consider Bro. Lamb my pastor from my most formative years, ages 8 to 17.
All the good in my life, I credit the teaching and examples that I had growing up. I consider them a model for marriage and raising a family.
Prayers and love to you all.
2 of the best friends I ever had, Laura and Martha
