Ms.Mary Beard was absolutely the sweetest woman I have ever met. Any time she could lend a hand or you was in need of prayer she was always there. I could call or go by her house anytime and ask her to pray for me and she never hesitated. She was so loving and caring , she will never be forgotten. Now she's with Jesus who she loved the most. She earned her place in Heaven, Rest forever more. Love, Erika Rhodes
