Mazie was a lifelong and wonderful friend to my parents, Lorimer and Dorothy Hendry, and my grandparents, Art and Pearl Hendry. I will always remember her happy outgoing personality. She always lit up the room when she was around. She will be missed! My condolences to Julia and David and family.
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".
Julia, I was sorry to hear about your Mother's death. May God grant you comfort and his special peace in the days ahead.
Julia
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Your mom was such a sweet lady and we enjoyed visiting with her at Chenal.
Mazie was a special lady and friend. We have so many fond memories Mazie. We have been blessed to have shared our lives with her. She is a true example of a christian lady, always sharing about her Lord and always looking for ways to serve others. She will be greatly missed but happy to know she is at home with her Lord.
