Mary Stephens

I stopped laughing so easily when you left us and I really miss that. Mary you have always had such a special place in my heart....your laugh, your cheeky grin, the freckles on your knees and the way you say my name, JB. You will always be!!!!

I loved you Mary and can still hear you call my name

I have just heard today of Mary's passing. She and I were friends at Franklin High School in Stockton. There was no one like Mary. My heartfelt sympathy goes to Dinah, her mom, and her brother Wayne. I can't believe she is gone, but she'll never be forgotten.

I like so many will remember her wonderful smile and that sense of humor and laugh that made you feel so good. The last time I saw her was at our 35th class reunion and we connected again just like we always had in high school....

My condolences to Mary's family. She was a great person and friend. I first met her when she worked for the Clovis Post Office and then recently would see her when she would come into the PostAnnex store at First/Bullard. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I remember a lot of great fun times many years ago. Your smile was very special.

42 years is a long time to be someone's best friend. Not enough time. I know you knew how much I loved you. I know how much you loved me. Past tense seems so wrong to use. I, like Judy, have a broken heart. Give my family members, Edna, and even the bulldogs a kiss from me. Don't forget to kiss Earl's bald head. I don't know what I will do without you.
PS...Sandy says thank you for the laughter, joy, and for inspiring her to be more like you. She loves you dearly.

In remembrance of a dear family friend.

Maxine,

Sorry to hear about Mary. It was the most wonderful thing to be able to grow up with her. She has given us all so many awesome memories. My family was able to get to know Mary on a vacation to visit Deb a few years ago (so now my girl's know why I am the way I am). Just remember "we started our trip at raft and gas" (ask Deb). We will forever miss Mary, we loved her dearly. We will hold you in our thoughts and prayers

Wow! Hard to believe. To those who remember when Mary started the "Women Out'Spoking' " bike club, maybe we could all get together one Saturday and do a short ride for all the good times we had with Mary.
