Sorry for your loss. It was always nice to visit you all when we were kids (and neighbors.) Your mom usually had some cookies handy along with her great smile. In later years, that smile and warm welcome were always present when I saw her.

Mary was my friend for over 50 years and also a wonderful neighbor. Our children grew up together. My heart goes out to them as they grieve over the loss of their mother. May God bless them with peace and comfort. Remember "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" Psalm 116:15. Flowayne Drew

I have so many wonderful early childhood memories of spending Easter at Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob's. Later, I loved having birthday celebrations together at Olive Garden. Every time I see an Amaryllis, I think of Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob. It is so wonderful to be blessed with a family legacy of Christian faith.
