To the family ~ It's never easy to say "goodbye" to a loved one but God allows us the opportunity. Mary was a sweet spirit that will be missed among family, friends & her Morning Star family. We loved her and must remember that God loves her best. A spring flower harvested in the prime of her life cycle. She finished her journey here on earth and now she rests at the right hand of God. He makes no mistakes because He loves all His children. Stay in prayer and know that the pain will become sweet memories. God bless you all.
