Norris,

Bubba and I were so sorry to hear of Mary's death. After Kenny called with the news, my mind drifted through nice memories of occasions with family and the two of you together....laughing and enjoying everyone. And I am sure you have millions of those memories to help you through this difficult time.

Bubba and I send our deepest sympathy to you and all of your family. We regret we will be unable to attend the service, but you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Nancy & Bubba

Norris, I can't express to you and your great family how saddened I was when this news was announced. I think you know how much I loved Mary and wish I had been in a position to have been nearer to you both in our waning years. I'm confined pretty much to wheelchair from a badly broken foot but am going to try to be at the funeral home at the least. Once again my condolenses to you and the entire family. I love you all.

Mack, Jr.

To Mona Townsend and family

When you Think of Her !

Remember her for the good times, for the times she laughed and loved.

Remember her for the smiles, for the times she listened and cared.

Remember her for the times she was happy and for the times she did her best, in the best way she knew how.

Remember her for her courage, to fight when life was winning.

But most of all, when you remember her, think of that joy, you all will share when you rise together in Christ.

Prayerfully submitted,
Brenda Carter
