May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29:11

While on vacation at the beach, many years ago, my children and I met Mary and some of her family. We became fast friends with all, and have remained so. Although that meeting seemed per chance, I believe it was so much more. We have been so blessed by all, who were raised by this precious lady. We watched her transition from an active & vibrant senior adult, in to one whose health declined greatly over the last few years. However, even though she was often in discomfort, her sweet & gentle nature was always paramount and she put how she felt aside in order to visit with old friends when we would visit. Her absence will leave a void, unfillable by another. But, the memories I have of her will cushion the discomfort left by her passing. My prayers of love & support to this sweet family. Rest in peace, sweet Mary. Enjoy your glorified body, and renewed health in everlasting life. I love you.

We are so sad to hear of Mary's passing. My parents, Bill and Dean Black, always thought a lot of Mary and Ray. Our family is praying for peace and comfort for everyone.
