My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Mabry family. May God continue to shower you with His rich blessings. I remember Mr. Mabry coming into the school on many occasions with such a pleasant smile. You always felt like you had known him for a very long time. I sometimes would see him in the stores running errands for the sick and shut-ins. He always would have some plesantries to extend to all listeners. I would always ask him about his wife, who was a former co-worker. He will be greatly missed by everyone.
