I was very sadden when I got this email of Mrs.Mary Edith homecoming to glory. I will truly miss her, but I thank God for the time she shared with me. You will be missed but never forgot.
If you could see Mary Edith now
She's walking streets of gold
If you could see her now
She's standing tall and whole
If you could see Mary Edith now
You'd know she has seen His face

If you could her now
You'd know her pain's erased
Mary Edith wouldn't want me
To ever leave this place
If only you could see Mary Edith now

Many years ago I was privileged to work along side Mary Edith when she volunteered countless hours for the Alabama PTA. Also, I was honored to receive an award for volunteerism named in her honor! She was an amazing woman of integrity, extremely hard working, kind and loving to everyone. She made an incredible impression on so many lives and we were blessed to have known her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy and heritage will live on in our hearts and fond memories. I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family, other close friends and her church family.
Blessings,
Nancy S. Mitchell
