Mary will be missed. As part of the Frank Williams Young Adult Choir, we traveled all over cities, states together by our Bus or in cars. Mary was always telling jokes, her smile could light up a place. She was a true woman of God. I shall miss calling her "Mary, Mary quite contrary". Rest on from your labor here on earth. Take your rest. Condolences to her family. Edith S. Smith
