David, Steven and the rest of the family, Ms Mary was one sweet lady who had impacted so many lives while here. She will be missed by many but she is now resting at the right hand of Jesus. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead as you have to adjust to your Mom not being here with you but know that she will always be watching after you. She will remain always in the hearts of those who loved her. Love and prayers.
