We were deeply saddened to hear the passing of Aunt Mary.```` May you find the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, will help comfort you now and in the days ahead. Although no words can really help ease the loss you bear, just know that All of You are very close in our thoughts and prayers. ~~~~May the God of tender mercies who strengthens us in our trials and hardship sustain you at this most difficult time. 2 Corn 1:3,4.

Mary Ellen, Wiley, and family, Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. We will keep all of you in our prayers for strength and faith to face the days ahead without a very special love one. We are sorry we cannot be there for the services but circumstances prevent us from traveling right now. In Christian Love, Rudy & Vangie

I really didn't know Mary well. I would see her coming and going from Wiley's home. One day I was leaving for Baytown for the weekend and she shouted out to me across the street. She couldn't get her door unlocked to get into the house. I got the door opened; offered to help unload her packages. She said no she could do that. I loved the way she was still an independent lady. Another time I was having a yard sale and she walked over and we chatted just a few minutes. I thought she was a sweet person.
