Ms Mary Baham I met over 20 years ago through her daughter Janene. She welcome me in her home like I was a member of her family. And it was like this for years. Birthday parties, barbecues or any time there was a family gathering. Her family treated her like a queen because she is. You will be missed Ms Mary. May your children find comfort in knowing that you ran your race. Servant Well Done

Mrs Bahama was a great elementary teacher@ Murray Henderson Elementary School. It was a honor to be a student of hers. She was very much dedicated when it came to her students learning. She also was my two oldest kids teacher. Mrs Baham will be missed.

I am so sorry I am not in town for your Mother´s service. She was such a beautiful person and strong educator of children. She was a gentle soul and always brought a peaceful spirit to any situation. I am proud to say I once supervised her.

I am praying for you and your family.
