To Joan and the family of Mary, I send my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mary, it was such a getting to know her, always a smile on her face, and such a pleasure to be around. Joan, thank you for the opportunity of getting to know you and her. The love you shown your Mom touched my heart's core . Amazing is the word I use at watching and hearing how so unselfishly you gave back to her as she had given to you...protection,love,compassion, and most of all, you gave of yourself. I pray that God continue to guide you through this time of sorrow and embrace you in His loving care. Juanita

Quietly in the night as loved ones rested, Jesus whispered,Mary, it's time..as she took His hand,she looked back on her family and friends,blew a kiss and said,I Love you, remember me always"....CareLink will like to send our condolences on the passing of Mary. It was a pleasure to spend time with her, so many days we laughed with her, listened to her stories of wisdom and love. To the family, she will be greatly missed by us. May God keep you in His loving care...Carelink
