So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

My sincere sympathy to each of you for your loss. Psalms 90:10 says that the usual life span is 70 or 80 years. When man was created, it was God's purpose that he would live forever. Romans 5:12 explains why sickness and death occurs. His purpose has not changed. He assures us that he will restore life to all who are in his memory right here on earth under the best conditions.
Revelation 21:3-5
John 5:28,29
Pslams 37:29

Mary was a good example to us of a dedicated and honest woman who persevered in life despite it's obstacles.
She was "the sage" to our Bible study group and kept us grounded in the Word of God. We trusted her because she wasn't "fluffy" or felt the need to please, but always provided us with straight forward remarks seasoned with kindness. To have known her these last few years has been a tremendous blessing . We pray that the family will be comforted during this time of loss by knowing that she completed her race set out before her in beautiful style.

Mary was a kind, caring and talented woman who modeled her
Christian walk. She lived her faith and demonstrated it at every opportunity. No doubt the rewards she is now enjoying are many and special and, indeed, the halls of heaven ring with the sounds of her music and her soft laugh. My sympathy to her family.

To all of Ms Mary’s family. I can’t even explain in words how much she meant to me and all her church family. She was a very special lady and oh so talented. You could hear her love for God thru her music every song was a sermon in itself. Heaven received a beautiful angel and I know she is playing beautiful music.
Serenaded by angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the King
Welcome to Paradise, the angels will sing,
Love and miss you Ms Mary
Prayers and love for all of the family.

I already miss the Queen of the Piano's music when I visit Little Rock Community Church. I will have to wait awhile to hear her play again when I get to Heaven. She was a wonderful loving lady.
