I no that Mary is enjoying her home, and very happy to reconnect with her love ones, and I no that she is rejoicing to be in the present of God. I met Mary at Sam's Club there we worked together, became friends. Annette Fryer, Mary and myself would always go with Mary shopping with no sense of time coming home. Mary would drive so fast that we would always say we wasn't not getting back in the car with Mary, but guess what when she would show up at my house here we would go get back in the car . Lol We had so much fun, just being childlike. Mary, till we meet again, my heart is a little heavy, but I no that there will be rejoicing again.

YOU WILL BE MISS RIP

IRENE MILLER

I love Mother.. I love you even more now. It feels like a bad dream. My heart breaks over and over as I miss you on a daily basis. We will have 'One Day At A Time' to get through this. Although, I miss you terribly I wouldn't take the joy away that you are experiencing right now with our Heavenly Father. You're probably enjoying your parents company as well. You made it Mom. I'm proud of you. I look forward to seeing you again and wrapping my arms around you. Keep playing that tambourine and praising as you do... Love Unconditionally

Your loving daughter ~ Monica

sorry to hear of Mary's passing, may the Lord be with her husband and children and the families and friends she loved.
