Ms. Mary you will also be missed. I met you 17 years ago and you were the most nicest and kindest person I ever. You had such a big heart willing to help anyone that needed you. We had so much fun together taking trips, playing cards and going to church. You are with God now may your soul R.I.P. I loved you then and I still love you now!!
