Ms. Mary was a lovely lady. She and my mother, Earleen Lawhorn, were old friends since I was a child. I was so glad our paths crossed again when I moved into The Towers at Tower Lane in New Haven, CT where she worked. It was always a pleasure to see her.

You all have sincerest condolences from me and my siblings, Connie Lawhorn Armstrong, Bruce Lawhorn, and Michele Lawhorn.

To Kenny, Tahira and Family,
My sincerest condolences for a lady who was more than a neighbor and friend; she was family as all of you are. Your mom´s loving and caring spirit will forever be felt by all who knew her; and although she is no longer with us, we can find comfort in knowing she is with God. I continue to pray for the family´s continued strength and comfort. Love you much.
