Dear Brooks & Carpenter Family,
As you know more than anyone, Mary was a Very Special Lady. Her laughter was contagious, and her personality always filled the room. Once again my heart has been sadden by the passing of another friend from the Drexel Avenue neighborhood. She's in the arms of the Lord now and surrounded by some very dear friends. Sleep on dear Mary, we loved you here, but God loves you best.

Ganeen and family,
My condolences to you. As you mourn I want you to remember all the good things about your mom. Also remember she will always be right there in your heart and no one can take her from you. Finally remember she is at peace with Our God and she has no more pain and suffering. I know that doesn't make your loss any less. A loss is a loss and time does not heal all wounds but by knowing she will always be in your heart can help ease the pain a little.
Ganeen, God Bless you and your family. You are in my prayers.
