My deepest sympathy on your family’s loss. Mary was such a wonderful, kind, loving person. She lived her life always giving the best of herself to others. I was blessed to work with her at Riverside Hospital, for many years. She was an Angel here on earth and I know she will be one of God’s brightest Angels in heaven. Our hearts go out to you, her family. Please know that we are keeping you all in our prayers through this difficult time.

Grace and peace to you Felacia and Derek. I pray peace in your life today as you say your final farewell to your mother and best friend. In the days to come I pray that you will look towards God and call on his name when you need comfort. I will always remember to pray for both of you as I kneel down to pray. Always remember that your mom loved you both very much, I know because I was there for many years and I saw it first hand. Lean on the Lord, He will wrath His loving arms around you and give you peace when you need it the most. I’m here if you want to talk or just want someone to listen. Love you both Aunt Pat.
