To all of Mary's family, I was sorry to hear of Mary's passing and wish you peace in this time of loss. I especially remember the times myself and my mom Lucy would drop Mary at home after a church function or spiritual event. I greatly enjoyed her company and am happy that she like my mom has found her reward. RIP
