I have just learned of Mary's passing. I worked for Imperial Tobacco when it first opened the Wilson head office. I knew Mary all the years I worked there as we worked down the hall from each other. I have not seen her in years but would hear about her thru Eleanor Tabb from time to time. Eleanor and Mary worked across from each other. Mary was so sweet and such a lovely lady. I am sorry to hear this about her but I am glad she lived a long life. I am thinking of her family and you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy, Judy Wilson Bentley

Remembering my Moma on her knees in conversation with her "Good Lord". I envision her resting in His arms.

My Nana,
There is no greater love than the one that you and I share. I am so blessed to have had YOU as my grandmother. Your strength and love made me who I am. Your faith showed me that all things are possible. You taught me to be kind and humble. Yet the most valuable gift you gave me was the knowledge that "by HIS grace" I able to all things. You were a vision of perfection to me and my heart will always hold our memories. My life will never be the same but I know that you will never leave me. I thank God for a praying Grandmother and I will always strive to make you proud.
Love Always and Forever your first grand child,
