To Mr. Elliott, Brian, Tasha, the boys, and family, it's with a heavy heart, and deepest sympathy , I send my love and prayers your way. I'm in shock, as I thought I was calling to check in, only to find my friend had passed on to glory. I loved your mom, and will miss our calls, that laugh and beautiful smile. May God bless you, and comfort you. Love, Hattie (Pflugerville, TX)

"Hope survives, love prevails, tears cleanse, memories comfort, faith soothes, good thoughts reassure, and our belief in a better place calms the heart.”
God desired another busy angel to sit around his throne, so He called Mrs. Mary J. Major from labor to reward.

To Mr. Elliot J. Major, Sr., Anthony T. Simms and Brian M. Major and Families along with the Litt and Johnson families. My prayers are with you in your hours of bereavement.

A golden heart stopped beating; a determined spirit is at rest. God broke your hearts to prove to you, He only takes the very best!

Difficulties arise in the lives of us all. What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the storm, where the sun is still shining just for you.

It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. Nevertheless, you are a strong people. It takes courage. But you possess the inner courage to see you through. It takes being an active participant in your life. But you are in the driver’s seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.

Hang in there and take care to see that you do not lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful, and true Mrs. Mary J. Major. Everything will be fine and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person Mrs. Mary J. Major was.

So beginning today and lasting a lifetime through ~ hang in there, and do not be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining. Just for you!

Yours in the STRUGGLE!
