I first came to know Mary at Almost Family about 6 years ago. She brightened our lives and we had many fun times through the years. She enjoyed life and joking with others. She made our days fun. It has been a pleasure to know Mrs Mary. I had the privledge of visiting with her just before Christmas and had the opportunity to give her one last hug on this earth. She is truely missed. May god be with you in your time of need.

Aunt Mare, I know we didn't have alot of times spent together just one on one, but I do remember moma telling me about you and Granny coming all the way to Oklahoma City to see me when I was born, riding on the Greyhound, and then when I came down for my first summer by myself you was there to meet me at the Greyhound station with that big smile and pinching my cheeks! I always knew that if I was hungry or needed something you always had it, as kids coming to spend the nightover Grannys you would always make sure we (Larry and I) would make sure Uncle George had food to eat and that Granny was, well just being Granny. You made sure to remind us every time we were there not to embarrass you, and if someone said that we were doing something wrong they better had known what they were taling about cause if they were wrong you had a good clowning session for them. Over the years I didn't come and see as much as I should have, but I do remember the last time we spent together when I brought Brent up to see you, and you held him, made us feed him, and pinched his cheeks and reminded me of that hot summer when you came to OKC to see me as a baby, I am glad I took pictures so I can tell him who you are. I love you and tell Aunt Necie, Granny and Uncle George I love and miss them very much. See you one day later in life I will still be the fat kid and I will probaly have my glasses back by then!
