To Mary's Family. I am sorry to read of Mary's passing. She and I grew up in Lincoln Park UMC and were friends during our high school days. I have thought of her often thru the years but lived out of state and lost contact with her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time, especially during the Holidays. May God give you the peace and comfort you need during the coming days.
