I was so sorry to hear of Miss Mary's passing. I will never forget those beautiful roses she grew on Carlisle Avenue. I feel very fortunate to have spent a little time with her not so long ago. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I am her first cousin and I regret that I have not seen her for probably 40 years. My fondest memories are the Sanders reunions we use to have at Magnolia Lake and Kolomoki in the 50's and 60's. Those were the good ole days even though we didn't have the modern conveniences we have today. My sincere condolences to the family at this time.
