We will miss Mary deeply. She was such a wonderful woman and beautiful piano player. She was so friendly to everyone and would just light up the whole room when she came in. We loved getting to know her at church.
Mary made wonderful contributions of music and friendship to the South Burr Oak Church. She will be missed. We wish you comfort and peace.
Kind Regards,
Joanne Holland
