Larry, we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful wife. You and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to bless and keep you all. With love, Aunt Johnnie, Aunt Doris, and Uncle Billy.
Valerie, Chris and Anthony, always remember that you had a true gem in a mother. I have been knowing Mary since high school and we reconnected when our kids played for Sally Little League and the G.W. Carver Marching Band. "Oh, the good times we had." Mary was always one of those parents that I could count on to help in whatever way that I needed. Rest "Sweet Spirit"! Frances Brown-Simmons
