My sincere condolences to the McGarity family. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one may God's loyal love give you the comfort and strength you need during this difficult time, Psalms 119:76.

As I was about to write this entry a very fitting song on my clock played The Old Rugged Cross. Jesus called her to her home far away where she will share His glory forever, and exchange that rugged cross for a crown! What a wonderful Aunt she was, sharing her faith, food and fellowship with her family! She was an icon to the McGarity family and a loyal friend and confidante to my mother JoAnn. I bet they are having a peaceful cup of coffee today as she is welcomed into His kingdom! Thank you for the beautiful memories Aunt Mary !
