My memories of Mary go back to Linn High School. Mary's brother Wendell was in my class and I want to express to Wendell and all of her family my sincere sympathy.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I can remember her warm smile and the good ole days at Pearl Youth Assoc playing softball. She & Mr. Jerry were very dear people that I will always member and then all the "Peoples" girls, well since I've known the other "Peoples" all my life too. It's going to be hard the next few months and I will definitely keep you all in my prayers. REally wish that I could make the visitation, but please know you are in my thoughts!
