Mary Knox was a wonderful lady. She was so very kind to my Mother, Roberta Nobles, when she lived at Mathison. I will always be appreciative of Mary's kindness to my Mother.

Miss Mary was one of my favorite residents of Mathison. She ALWAYS had a smile! When she was feeling so bad she never stopped trying to continue. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
