Mary and Jack were carpet cleaning customers of mine for many years. I remember being at their home when Jack was nearing the end and how Mary took such great care of him. She had a heart of gold and and a faith that helped her though those difficult years. She was a true inspiration to so many and every time I would to her home to clean the carpet and furniture I would leave there with a happy heart after spending time talking with her. Mary was a woman of faith and through her trials and tribulations she always put others at the forefront. It has been many years since I had seen Mary as I eventually retired and moved to Florida but I will truly cherish the memories of Jack and this precious lady. Rest in Peace Mary as your work here on earth is done and what a glorious reunion day it will be when we meet again. RIP Mary.
