Guestbook

  1. We recall the many happy occasions we have shared through the years and send our deepest sympathy to all the living relatives

  2. Mary was a dear and trusted friend to my mother, Becky Price, and to me. They shared many an after church lunch at ‘the cafeteria’ with their ‘gang’. My mother could be quite difficult, but Mary’s kindness and patience helped me to view Becky in a kinder and gentler way.
    I’m just sure that Mary got a ‘well done good and faithful servant’ when she went home on Tuesday.
