Mary was such an amazing woman. She was always so kind to me every time I spoke with her and visited with her. It has been quite some time since I last saw her, but after she moved to Houston, we remained connected via Facebook, sharing posts and discussing hot topics from time to time. I never heard anything but kind, supportive words come from Mary. She was an Angelic soul that is now enjoying everlasting life in paradise with the Almighty. Debi, Makayla, and all of her children and grandchildren were so blessed to be inspired and loved by this wonderful woman.
Until we meet again ...
