To the Winters family & Dr Linda Jordan, you have my deepest sympathy. So sorry for your loss. Rev Winters is now with the Lord. RIP 🙏🏽💙✝️😇

On behalf of the Broadie family I like to offer our prayers and condolences to the family. Mary was a wonderful God fearing lady. She was kind and loving and it was very obvious the she loved the Lord. God's Blessing and compassion to her family. I Love you all, see you on the other side. Rev j m broadie.

I met Mary shortly after Thanksgiving in 1989. She was one of the coordinators for my wedding. Here I was, a stranger, coming to wed one of her friends. I recalled her warmth, but particularly her smile. She never let me feel uncomfortable but was most gracious in her welcoming. I often refer to her and her sister, Linda as the twins because of how they made me feel. I knew from that moment she had love in her heart and that was because God's love flowed through her. She has been a dear friend to our family. My wife, Cheryl, regard her as another sister, growing up together, singing in choir, hanging out, and enjoying lots of laughter. Mary you will be dearly missed.

Gary and Cheryl - The Skyers Family

Sending love and prayer to the family. Mary was a loving, caring, strong, passionate, inspiring, beautiful, Woman of God.
