Mary was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. She was always smiling and had a hug for everyone. What a great Christian example she was to all of the ladies at Living Word Church. She touched so many lives there is no human way to keep track……but Her beloved Jesus will be able to show her what a tremendous impact she made in the Kingdom of God! Can’t wait to worship with you again someday!!
How I would describe Mary. BEAUTIFUL MOTHER. I will miss you. I know you’ll be watching over the FAMILY.
Mary was always smiling every time she saw my daughter and I. She was like a grandma to us both. She will be missed a lot by us both.
Aunt Mary was loved by my husband first and then me. She was so thankful to receive a personal relationship with Jesus into her life. She had such a burden for her children too. Will miss stopping to visit her. Praying for her family.
Sis. Parady was one of my favorite Sunday school teachers. I grew up having her as a beacon of light. She was truly loving and faithful in her ministry and church. I will never for%t her humor and making her laugh. Such a compassionate woman 0f God.
Nani always had a smile and a hug for everyone she met. Her kindness will always be remembered by me. My deepest condolences to her family
