I was saddened to hear of Ms. Mary's transition, today! However, I also felt a small degree of comfort to know, that her suffering was now over and she now, has put on the incorruptible body, she worked, lifelong, to attain, from her journey, here on earth, to her new home, in glory. To her friends and loved ones please accept, our deepest condolences and we pray, that The Most High, our God will keep and comfort you, during this difficult time. Despite the loss we feel, she was a sweet lady and she will surely be missed, as she was today at dialysis. I will always remember her smile, bravery, and spunk! Ms. Mary always had a smile and bright countenance, even when she was not feeling well. She was friends with my parents and a great testament to being content, regardless of the position, life extends. You are now healed, free, and promoted, to Ancestor. Thank you for being an example of kindness and demonstrating great character as a true Christian and as a wise elder. Rest well, Ms. Mary!
Until we meet again,

It's difficult to bear the loss of one so very dear, But may it help a bit to know that caring thoughts are near, And may your special memories be a comfort to you, too, And keep the one you loved so much still very close to you. With Deepest Sympathy, Lydia Gooding & Family
Rev. Gooding will truly be missed. Her unique way of incorporating her life experiences often time made everyone feel more at ease when asking her questions on their own experiences. Never, did she make anyone feel less nor judge but simply used her gift to help one understand the will of God for us all. Family, know we share your loss and are praying with and for each of you.
