Joe & Kathy:
So sorry to hear of Mary Beth's passing. She was such a sweet lady. She always asked about my children that she treated like her own when they went to the boys & girls club so many years ago. I never had to worry about them when Miss Mary Beth was there. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you & fill you with peace
