Dear Marvin, Judy and family,
We were so sorry to hear of the homegoing of Mary Lois.
You were such wonderful care givers for her and were always there to help her. Some of our favorite memories were of her in her garden, her bonnet on, and a hoe in her hand or harvesting her bounty. She really had a green thumb and worked tirelessly during the growing season. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during today and in the weeks to come. Only as Christians can we experience joy as we grieve; Mary Lois' last breath on earth was her first breath in Heaven. Oh what a Savior that gives us this most blessed assurance.

I was one of the LPN's at OHMC that took care of your mother. THE first time I met her, I was whistling and singing in the dining room. She told me that she loved my happiness and smile. I loved caring for her so much. She brought joy to my heart. Mary was the sweetest lady I've had the privilege of meeting and caring for. I will miss her everyday and was truly blessed by her grace. My prayers and love to all during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Aunt Mary Lois. She was a very sweet lady and I have many fond memories of eating lunch at her and Uncle Wilburns store! God bless and be with all her family.
So sorry for your loss, we know what it means to loose a parent. Your family is in our hearts and prayers. Your Mom was a very sweet person. Ronnie & Carolyn Garrett
Jerry and I are so sorry for the loss of your Mom, but Heaven gained another saint with the leaving of this earth and her arriving in Glory and reunited with your Dad and other family members. We loved to visit with her, such a pleasant, quiet, soft spoken lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Marvin and families, I'm sorry to hear of your Mom's passing, Earlene and I always loved visiting with her when she would stop at our fruit stand. Such a pleasant lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless you.
I am saddened to hear Mary Lois has passed away, have lots of memories of her and her families, went to see her at Clinton, she loved to see us. All of you are in my prayers. God bless you.
