Aunt Mary was so nice to us and was so beautiful. I remember when I was young and she would let us stay with her and Uncle Charlie. She was a good mom too to Jerrylyn and Dant and I know she was a good grandma too. I love you Aunt Mary.

Aunt Mary was always so sweet and beautiful, always soft spoken and kind. Growing up I remember going to visit her, and Aunt Mary would worry so much about if we were having fun or not. I know youll be watching your kids and grandbabies from Heaven, may that help them find peace.
Love,
Bambi

Your mom was a trooper. We enjoyed having her at Agape. She brought joy to those around her. We will be praying for your family, especially her young escort, Aaron who used to always be with her.
