    Rest in peace Mary. One of the most caring people I had the privilege of knowing. Mary and B.J. were good friends of our family when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. As a high school kid I worked for B.J. and Mary cleaning the doctor's office and cutting grass at their house. They were the best of friends to my parents. Mary was always encouraging and her faith was sure, of which she spoke of often. She rests in the arms of Jesus. May God bless her friends and relatives at this time of loss. Paul W. Pyle
