Patricia and Family, I am so saddened to hear of sweet Mary’s passing. I’m going to miss her visits in my store. Mary was always so kind. Patricia, I know this is going to be hard because you two were so close. I hope you find peace in knowing this is not where it ends you will be together again some day. Praying for you and your family if I can help you in anyway please just ask.
Marc, Patricia, and the Wilson family. Danny and I are sorry for your loss of Mary. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
The world will never know a sweeter person. There are so many wonderful memories and laughs shared that will live on forever. I will miss the front porch chronicals with Mary and Momma.

Family, may the memories of the times you shared together bring you comfort. We are sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. Life is a precious gift, yet so short. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. For example, the knowledge that God ‘is close to the brokenhearted.’ (Psalms 34:18) Our sincere sympathy to all of you, family and friends.
To the family of Mary I want to express my sorry of your loss of Mother, sister and friend. I worked with Mary for several years at Allied / Honeywell. May God hold you close as you go through this time.
“God is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who
are crushed in spirit.†(Psalm 34:18) I’m sorry for your loss; may God provide
you and your family with peace and comfort during this difficult time. For more
comforting Scriptures, please visit JW.org
My deepest sympathy to Mary’s family and friends. The Lord must have great plans for Mary in Heaven to have taken her in her prime. Her death is a loss to all who knew her and definitely a wake up call to me. Life is too short to not be happy and content. Blessings of peace and comfort to the Wilson family.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort in Gods promise to soon ‘swallow up death forever’ and to ‘wipe away the tears from all our faces’ (Isaiah 25:8)
