When I think of Mary Sue, I always remember how much she loved gardening and keeping the church grounds looking so nice. And when it got to where she wasn't able to physically do the work, I can remember Daddy getting a chair for her to sit on in the shade and doing for her all the things she wanted to do.
Although I'm sad for her passing and for your grief, I rejoice to know that her pain has ended and she has been reunited with her Lord and Savior.

I would just like for you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I really enjoyed taking care of Mrs. Johnson at the Cottage. She was a wonderful person. Thank you for the privilege of getting to know your mom. (Leca Hutto I worked nightshift.)
