Dear Rocky, Doris, Debbie, Dennis, Cheryl, and all of your families, what a legacy Aunt Mary and Uncle Kenny have! I am thinking of you all and praying for you, especially on Saturday. I wish I could be there. I have so many good memories of being with your family. I remember all of us piling in on Uncle Kenny and Aunt Mary, and there was always room for us. Aunt Mary was such a relaxed hostess - we never felt like a burden,and we felt right at home with you all. I'm glad she's not suffering or sad any more, and I look forward to seeing her again with Jesus in glory....love to each one of you, barbara mcfarland

We are so sorry for your loss; Mary was a very special lady. I enjoyed visiting with her these past few years, and remember her from my teen years. I also remember how much my mother enjoyed the craft sessions she and Mary shared. (I still have the cross-stitch pillow your mom made for me, Cheryl!)
