I am a great admirer of Mary, her tenacity and vivacious personality at her age was amazing to watch. She made me feel old. Lol. She was a wonderful soul and I know her family and friends will sorely miss her. She was kind and she was beautiful inside and out. She will surely shimmy her way to heaven. GOD has welcomed a new angel. May the family take comfort in knowing she is up there in heaven, as proud as can be, watching over all of you now and forever. Loretta,Anthony Cindy, Yolanda, and all of the grandchildren and great children, you have my condolences. You are all in my prayers.
