So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:28,29
(28). "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (29) and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".
To The Family and Emma Huey, We want to express our Deepest Sympathy to all of you. Mary was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church and served on the board for many years. She was dedicated and faithful attending every Sunday morning bringing with her a very special little girl, Emma Huey. It was always a delight to see the two of them on Sunday at Bethel. Mary was part of our little children's Sunday School Class, supporting it with her time and attendance, and love for the Lord and Emma and all the other children in the class. Sometimes we'd go for a little outing to eat Chinese food in Little Rock, or pizza, a movie, or take the children to a museum. Mary was always so proud to bring Emma. Emma, we love you. Albert, Shiloh, and I know Ms. Mary LOVED YOU SO MUCH. She enjoyed your company!!! God bless you all. Emma, treasure the memories you made with Ms. Mary. Jesus Loves Emma. Ms. Mary loved Jesus and you too, and now she lives with Him forever. Love you, Emma! Pam, Albert, and Shiloh Marlar
