Charles, you are in my prayers. I so remember the blessings of you and Mary and know how sad this time can be but also the rejoicing you have knowing she is with our loving heavenly Father. May our loving Lord comfort you and your family at this time. Blessings in Christ, Rich Howell

I had the pleasure of doing Mary's hair for over twenty years and what a joy! I will miss hearing about her grandchildren and family. The beautiful smile and carring words she shared. She's at peace now and in a better place. My heart goes out to Charles and the family. Peace be with you all, Mary Lee Mizell
