Our condolences to Mary Jane and her family. Aunt Mary was very special to us and all our family. She was one of the most caring persons we ever knew. We had many good times together when I was growing up and our children got to spend time with her as they grew up. She was an inspiration to anyone who knew her, she had many friends. She enjoyed life and will be missed.

Dear Mary and Allison and loved ones, Mary was a great saint in the Lord Jesus Christ here at Finley Church. Our loss - heaven's gain! (Psalm 116:15). Mary had a smile from ear to ear and had that peace from Jesus that only he can give a person. Our congregation is grieving with you and our prayers are with your family as we have lost one of our Finley Church family members, too. May the Lord comfort you during this time and the days ahead. I know Mary os smiling in heaven! In His service, Pastor Jerry Ernst Finley UMC

To Mary's Family: I met Mary at the Weirton Geriatric Center. My mother lives there and I got to know her while visiting with my mom. Mary was a special woman! It got to the point when I visited my mom I had to stop by her room and say hello. She was a very kind woman. I am sure she is smiling and enoying other loved ones who have passed before her. I will miss visiting with her. Allen Marino

Mary Jane and Family, Aunt Mary was a very wonderful and caring person. I will always remember her warm personality and loving nature. No matter what she always seemed to manage to have a positive outlook on things. I was blessed to have her in my life and I truly will miss her. I am sorry that I will not be able to be there for you all but just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow. Even though Aunt Mary is gone she will live on forever in our memories and hearts. Love to you all, Sherry
