To the children and family of Mary Jean Pettis-Trezavant....My love and condolences go out to each of you. It was hard for me to view this site knowing that my beloved cousin has left us. Mary and I was raised together by my grandmother, Mary Cox. Therefore, she was more like a big sister to me. She slipped away from us and if I could turn back the hands of time, I would bring her back. She was a quiet and humble person that loved God with all her heart and did what she could to help help others. It's so hard for me to say good bye but I know you are with the Most High God and all of our other family members. I love you...till we meet again on the Celestial shores. Gladys Cox
