Bill & Sons,
You all have our heartfelt deepest sympathy in the loss of Mary. She is now with Jesus & her other family members watching over all of you. She is at peace now & no more suffering & looks just so beautiful. She was like a Mother to me & I'll cherish my memories of her forever in my heart. She was a wonderful person to have as a devoted friend for over 40 years. She had a heart of gold & would help any one she knew that needed help. My heart is broken over loosing Mary but it will heal in time. God Bless All Of You & you all our in our prayers. Ruby & Elbert Townsend

Uncle Bill, Bill Jr, Mark, Tommy and Wallace, Family and Friends,
Just knowing that Aunt Mary is in heaven with her Creator and she is whole again is so comfoting to us.
It still hurts to lose such a wonderful and compassionate person, that loved her family and friends.
She is now an Angel watching over us and enjoying her eternal life with those who passed on before her.
May God surround you with his angels in the days ahead, to bring comfort and understanding to those left behind. Knowing that if Christ is in you life you too will meet her at the Pearly Gates one day!!!

Bil and Family, May the Summer Sun shine upon her shoulders, the Spring rains touch her face as gentle as God's Love. May the leaves of Autumn tickle her toes and chase away your woes and bring smiles to your faces. She is with God and his Love for Her and each of you will help you each day. Op.
