Mary was a strong woman who loved her children unconditionally. She was extremely intelligent and had a great sense of humor. She was in tremendous pain, but never complained. Her favorite book in the Bible was Job. She was an expert self taught seamstress. I always enjoyed our visits and she shared her recipe for true country cornbread dressing. The last book she recommended to me was The Shack. It was important to her I encourage all to read or at least see the movie. She was my friend. I will miss her, I know she is with Jesus
