We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Mel’s Mother. We are praying for all of you during this terribly difficult time. May the memories you all have of Mary bring each of you some measure of comfort and peace during this time. We continue to keep you all in our prayers.
Melanie, sorry about the loss of your mother. Prayers for all your family.
Kelly, so very sorry for the loss of your precious momma. I know all to well the pain that feels your heart & I pray the lord will help you find peace & comfort.
The obituary mentioned her being full of sass I so remember that. She always made me laugh, she knew how to get a grip on teenagers without causing any melt downs.
I will continue to pray for you and the family as you face the difficult days ahead, remember to lean on your friends and trust in the Lord! We love you
Thank you to everyone for your kind words!
Until we meet again Mom you will be missed here ! We Love you
