Bobby T, Cora and I were saddened to hear of your mother passing. We offer our deepest sympathy not only to you and Lisa but, your entire family. Let me know if I can do anything for you. God Bless, Jody
Bobby, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and I apologize for not finding out soon enough to pay my last respects. Your mother was an awesome woman and practically helped raise me when I was growing up next door to her. I’ll always have fond memories of going to her house and accepting whatever food she offerred because she was a great cook! I’ll also always remember her garden and how excited my dad would be when she would bring him some of those baby onions straight out of the garden. I also remember her chasing my cat out of that garden! Sorry about that. I could probably write a book! Some of my best childhood memories were with her and I’ll always be thankful for getting to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you need anything feel free to ask, I think we may owe your family a few favors for how good all of you have been to us. Dawn James
Mary was one of a kind. She always knew the right time and the right thing to say to make you happy. I will always remember her laugh and her beautiful smile. Mary will be missed greatly!!!
