My condolences go out to your family, Mary. You will be missed. I enjoyed doing your hair for several years, we had a growing relationship, that I will not forget. You are with Christ now. What a wonderful place to be. I will think of you often. Zella Paris
My prayers and thoughts go to all of you during your time of sorrow. I always enjoyed working with Mary at UNC. She was such a positive person that I always felt better just being around her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. My condolences.
My thoughts of Mary:
Although I knew Mary only a short time, she touched my heart. We shared smiles and laughs as she often reminisced about her early years in Richland and fun times with her husband and son. Family was special to Mary. Of course there were also some fun and funny stories involving her love for dancing!
I’ll miss Mary, I called her “Princess” but her memory lives on within my heart.
Your forever friend,
Darlene
