Dear Family, I greave our loss but celebrate Heaven's gain! I am so very sorry that I could not be there to share hugs and personal memories, but you know that my heart, my love, and every though and prayer surrounds you at all times.
Clarence, I was very sad to hear of your loss. Only in the last week or two I had thought of the two of you and wondered how you were doing. May God give you His peace and comfort at this time.You may not remember me, but I worked with Mary both at Republic and at Western. Judy Peace
My thoughts and prayers are to you in your loss. Your Mother was a joy to know and be with when she was at First Baptist Cleveland. Take care. Linda
What a gracious and precious woman Mary was in all she said and did in her life. I admired her because she was a real example of what "a lady" should be in life. I got to know Mary and Clarance in the FBC choir and always found them to be a shining example of what a Christian couple should be in life. Mary will be missed but we will see her soon in Heaven. God bless you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Clarence and family. So sorry to hear about Mary's passing. She was such a sweet lady.
Though we are unable to attend the memorial service, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I have special fond memories of working with Mary at Western National Bank. She was an intergal part of WNB's success. Her warm friendly "mother-like" advisory to me as friend was greatly appreciated at the time and will long be remembered. She will be sorely missed. With sympathy, John Benjamin (Laura), SVP, Western National Bank (1982-1995)
I think of Mary with a smile on my face and joy in my heart at having known Mary as a colleague for many years. Mary's greatest joy was her family and she exemplified a life based on Christian faith. My condolences to the family and may it comfort you to know the positive influence Mary had on so many people.
Mary was such a fine Lady. She will be missed by all who knew her. We know she is with God and Christ now. She awaits us all who are true belivers also. Lord be with her Family, comfort them, sustain them thru the coming days as only you can do-Barry L Baker Sr
