We are very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was such a wonderful to friend to my mother-in-law, Bea Peters. They enjoyed each others company and loved to talk on the phone to late hours of the night. Now they can catch up together in heaven. Prayers and thoughts are with your family.

We were so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was such a nice and sweet and caring person and a wonderful friend to my Mother Bea...those two could "gab" for hours. I can see them in Heaven now catching up on the past couple years! May God Bless all of you and comfort you. Our prayers are with you and all your family. With deepest sympathy, Paul and Beverly Peters Renwick. He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. 2COR1:3

I don't know how to really describe Mary besides as one of the kindest people I've ever known. I knew Mary since I was a kid. She was like another Grandma to me. Even tho as I got older I didn't see her as much as I should have. But was lucky to get to see her a few times before she became ill. My thoughts and prayers to the family. I know how you are all hurting. She was and is truly loved by her family. She will be missed.

Dear Paula and family. I always admired your mom and her quiet dedication to the church and her help with our LIFT Ladies. She always had a smile and a positive Spirit. May God be with your whole family this week. Love in Christ,
