We are holding your family in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time.
In sympathy,
Bret and Allison Baker
I was so sorry to hear that Mary had passed away. I worked with her at the BFCC right before she retired. I was her replacement…as they updated their accounting system from a manual to computerized, I worked with Mary for a few months to learn the ‘old’ system. Mary was a wonderful co-worker and I know the computer system was not her idea of how to do it but she was so generous with her knowledge and abilities thus insuring an easy changeover. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
I just want to express my deepest condolences. Mary was a very sweet lady, and I’m honored to have met her. She is at peace now, and will be taken good care of in Heaven.
Love to you all during this time of grief. I am sorry Kevin and I could not be there with you, Linda and Jerry. Hugs to you both.
I treasure the memories of spending time with Aunt Mary (and Uncle Harry). They always welcomed us in their home anytime we visited Asheville. I consider Asheville to be home, though I never lived there, because of Aunt Mary and all the family who we loved and visited so often when I was growing up. Jeff & I wish we could be there, but know you are in our prayers.
Our deepest sympathies.
Please accept my sympathies in the passing of your mother. My prayers will be with you.
To the family of Mary Joyner: I will always remember your mother, Mary.
She never forgot our names, always had a smile and love a good joke. She was a goode friend. She always recognized my voice. We would swap children stories.
I am sorry I was away or I would have been with you September 10th.
