Thad,Quantera and Josiah, So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.

Prayers for the family. Mary was one awesome lady. I didn't talk to her often but when I did we didn't miss a beat. She always kept my son in her prayers. I used to work with her. I will miss her. She was the best.

As a older woman she taught us younger women she always gave me sound biblical advice and prayed me through whatever I was facing. She will be missed and we continue to pray for the family.

Condolences to the Payne Family. Phyllis Reese & Family
