Dear Vern & Family,
Sorry to hear of your lost. But you have some great memories. Mary was such a terrific gal and fought a long and hard battle. Her pain is all gone and she is walking on streets of pure gold with her loving Savior. We will all miss her. Take comfort in knowing you and your family are being prayed for and, the Lord is faithful to be close to you at this time.
Dana and family, My prayers are with you all. Miss Mary was a sweet lady. She will be missed.

Vernon,
May God comfort you in this dificult time and know that we are praying for you. May God bless you and the family. Mary was a sweet lady and a good neighbor.
Mary Belle and I were childhood friends, my first sweetheart, I think we were 5 year old, our families went to the same church and knew both her mom and dad well. Memories are a part of our past, and some become a part of our hearts. Bill Fausett
God bless this family in this time of need..
