My condolences to your family. Ms. Mary and my mother, Theresa White, were friends for as long as can remember. We lived on Dominican and Adams St. Ms. Mary often visited our house and also assisted my mother with my wedding.
She was such a graceful, soft spoken lady. I especially remember her smile. She loved her family. She was blessed to lived a long life to see her grand and great-grand children.
May your faith in God bring strength to all of you.
May your memories of your mother, grandmother and the good times comfort you. You are in my prayers. God Bless. Peace. Tonya White Metairie, La.

To Elaine and family,

My heartfelt sympathy is with you. I know it is difficult when the remaining parent transitions to their heavenly home, but remember you are not without hope "I Thessalonians 4:13-18, and will see her again. Certainly she will be missed, but I pray that you'll find comfort in the assurance that she is with a loving Father. Keep in your hearts the loving memories of her life.

You are in our thoughts and prayers,


The Cormier Jr. Family
