To David & Family,
I just heard about the death of Mary and I am so sorry for your loss. We worked togather in the Maintenance Department at Hercules for many years.
One thing I will always remember about her was she loved her husband, children, and church for that was her whole conversation when not talking about the job. May the sweet memories of her life bring you comfort, and I will keep you all in my prayers.

David, Yuvonne and David,
Thinking of Mary brings back great memories of the River. David, you and Mary did such a great job of coordinating our cookouts. We can still see Mary planting her flowers in the boxes on the edge of the deck. Great memories.
God Bless you all,
Wakefield and Penny

Our blessed Ma Walton as we always called you. You dear friend will be greatly missed. Your smile and constant laughter blessed all of us at Rainbow Parable Bookstore. You kept us looking for new product all the time as nothing was too good for your children at South Hopewell Church of God. There will be many coming after you whose lives you made better. We knew you would beat this and I guess you did. You are free from it and pain and you beat us all to Jesus' feet. We miss you already and will keep your family in our prayers. We love you John boy's mom! Peggy Perkinson
