Mary was like a sister to me and I loved her dearly. I will miss her very much. She was a blessed woman who loved the Lord and shared His love with all. She lead me to the lord many years ago and I will forever be greatful. I pray God will heal the hearts of Sidney and the family and bring them much comfort. Sincerly , Sharon Bateman
