Michael, Jason and Warner, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the good times, Michael and I would go to Ormond Beach to visit Mary at her condo, from walking on the beach to in Dunnellon swinging on her swing. I also remember Mary, her laugh and her Southern Belle voice. Michael, she always called him " Michael Dale " and she always made sure she told him, she loved him so. Mary, you are truly a gift from God and I will always remember and miss you.......

Dear Tim, Nancy, and family, I am sorry that your sweet mother has passed away. She was such a "Lady", and was always so kind to me and the staff at Hampton Manor Gardens. I remember when I tucked her at night I would always wish her sweet dreams, and she would say "thank you darling". I will always remember the way her face would light up when we gave her ice cream. It was my honor to take care of your mother, and I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Peggy (Rippley) Miller

Dear Tim and Nancy,
I have many memories of your mom from when we were all growing up together. She was a great lady. She wrote me one of the most beautiful letters when my mom passed and I keep and treasure it to this day.
It is always hard to say goodbye to one we love, but always know that she will forever be with you in your heart.
Love,
Karen Townsend

Virginia, Tim and Nancy.
I will never forget the front yard "Picnics" with all the trimmings your mother would set up for us. She was a dedicated, loving lady, who all who knew her quite guiding advice will miss her. May GOD be with you and your families during this trying time. You will be in our prayers.
