They say that a persons true character can be measured in the way that they treat other people. This was especially true with "Miss Mary" (as we called her)
She was always going out of her way to do a special or kind thing for our Family.....especially my kids. She was like a Grandmother to us. My children just loved her. She will be sorely missed here in Sandbridge. She was our next door neighbor for the last 9 years and it is people like her that really make Sandbridge special. She was "one of a kind"
God Bless

The greatest gift you can give someone is inspiration, and Mary inspired not only her family but everyone she met. She will certainly be missed, but the memory of such a wonderful woman will be with us forever.May you sense the Lord's presence in the coming days.
