Mary was a very sweet lady. In the time I knew her she loved getting up early for her morning coffee. She told me stories of her life and times at glenmore distillery, and she told me how much she loved her family. She will truly be missed by many she came into contact, including myself. I am honored to have met her and to have had the time with her that i did. She is not gone, she simply went home to be with God
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Amen.
I loved Mary like my own family and her family is in my
Prayers.
