kurt, she was a joy to take care of. such a well kept lady for her age, always doing her nails and she loved her hair brushed hard, was afraid i hurt her, and enjoyed showing her art skills she displayed in her room. i missed her when i retired from greenville.

My sympathies to you all. I knew Mary from First Assembly on Evergreen Drive. I always enjoyed talking with her. She was a FASCINATING Lady. Take comfort in knowing she is with Jesus. God Bless
