We will Miss Mrs. Courtney and her beautiful smile. She was such a pleasure to know and a lovely LADY!!!! Our Thanksgiving dinner will also
be missing something without her .Our hearts are with her family. We have one more angel to watch over us.
Mary, regardless of age or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to lose our Mothers. The only comfort comes from a Real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Friends are the flowers in the garden of life.
