So sorry to hear this news. Please know we are praying for her family.
Sarah – So very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I missed seeing her along with you and Evan at SUMC these past few months. Hoping and praying that you can find comfort and strength in the fact that she is no longer suffering and that she is currently in Paradise sitting at the feet of Jesus. Please let me know if there is anything that I can help you with concerning probate or settling the estate. Mark
Sarah, so sorry and sad about your mother’s passing. She was such a fine lady and a dedicated Stephen Minister. She loved the people she ministered to and said prayers for me as well. Will be in Atlanta Saturday but I will definitely be thinking of you and your family. Dianne Hanna

Sarah,
I hadn’t checked my email all week, and was shocked to see the notice about your mother. I know she will be missed terribly.
I pray that God will pour out His peace and love on you and your family during this hard time.
Hugs to you,

Sarah and Evan,
So sorry for the loss of mom. God gave your mom a special gift of loving and caring for people. Mary placed this gift in her heart and then passed the blessing on. When she visited people from our Church, she would built a loving relationship with them. Every time visited, she brighten their day. We should all learn from her example. The Church and I will miss her.
Danny, Sarah & family,
We were so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Glad we got to visit with her last year. Mary was a very special person & know she will be missed. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
