I miss you so. I was one lucky girl to have you as my mother-in-law. We shared so many things,. You were always there for me. Please hug everyone and tell them we miss them and will see you soon. I am sure Steve knows I miss him and loved him.. It has been a tough five years. I have missed you both. Now you see Jesus and be at rest. I loved you Mary. Till we meet again. Enjoy heaven, you are so deserving. Love you always and forever. Debbie ❤️❤️
Even though it saddens my heart to hear of Mary’s passing, I know she’s at rest now. She was always so nice to me. It was always heartwarming to me to know how much she loved Deb. She so adored Trent and Tyler also. Hopefully there are a lot of hot dogs in Heaven! Love you Mary!
We feel very blessed to have known Mary June, she was a very sweet lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time. May God bless you always.
My dear sweet mother, you were the best mom anyone could ask for. I already miss you so much. You put up with all the things I did as a child and teenager and still loved unconditionally. You were a wonderful grandmother to my boys and you and Leroy helped me so much with them and you so loved your great-grandchildren. You have always been a selfless, kind, caring person and would do anything anyone asked. You were so committed to God and faithful. I know you missed all your friends at church, the people at your church were such a big part of your life. Although I will miss you, I know you are in heaven celebrating and if there is a beach there, you will visit it soon. I love you!
Thank you Sherry. As much time as you and I spent together growing up, she thought of you as one of her children!
I am so thankful for the time I was privileged to spend with your mother, countless cups of coffee at her kitchen table, we laughed , we cried, we loved to find a good thrift shop, we walked on the beach, and sang to the sunset, she was a great worker in the church, a true friend, she loved her family and her church, Goodnight my friend I will see you in the morning
My sister Ruth and I worked with Mary June at Vanderbilt Shirt Company. She was a blessing to work with and always made you feel welcome at her home. We will miss Mary June. She was a great worker and made excellent pimento cheese. She was a kind soul. We know her family will miss her and we will be praying for their comfort.
