Vivian, I am so sorry to hear about Mary. I loved her snd she was a very special friend to me. I will look forward to seeing her again someday, Heaven is just getting better all the time. Mary was one of my first and closest friends in Tulsa as I grew up. I have many many memories of her and your family. I will always remember her sweet smile and red hair. The last time I saw her in Tulsa, at a memorial service at our Tulsa church, we talked about old times and laughed and laughed, huged and had a great time. She will always be a special friend to me in my heart and in my memories. She was so special. I said a prayer for her today and I said a prayer for you today and for your great loss. Please know that if I had known about her illness earler I would have been there for her also, as I just found out about her today. I am also broken hearted to here the news but I am also comforted to know that I will see her again and that she is with the Lord today.

I met Mary in the very early years of grade school while we attended Memorial Baptist Church together and grew up together in church involved in all the church activities together.We spent such a special part of time of our lives together.Mary was to all that knew her a very special person and so much fun to be with and a blessing to all.She once in joking said she wanted to see the financial statement of a male before going out with him.I want to remind all that Mary has not died nor have we lost her.I knew Mary's faith in the Lord and I know because of her faith in Jesus Christ as her S avior that she is very much alive and in the presence of The Lord at this moment.In the Gospel of John 11:25 Jesus answered Martha saying, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believers in me will never die.
