Condolences

  1. Such a sad day…..she was “Ms. Young” to me and I feel like I’d known her all my life. I admired her strength and her wisdom and her love for her family. She offered me good advice on many occasions. I wish I had told her how comforting that advice was and how much I respected her. I’d like to think that in some way she knew that. I will miss her.

    Please know that she loved you all very much!

    With deepest sympathy,
    Susan LeBon

  2. Mary and Roger were two of the first people that I met when I moved to Texas. They were friends of my sister, Jana, and when I say “friends” – I mean the bend over backwards, do anything for you kind of friends. Few and far between are people like them and I feel blessed to have met them. I send my love and prayers to you Roger. Thank you for all you’ve done for us.

  11. Mary was the essence of love and caring topped with a delightful sense of humor . Our days together in Caldwell (Burleson-Milan Special Services) were happy and productive. Mary kept the workplace in smiles and counseled all of us during her time there. Thank you to her family for sharing her. Heaven just took on a little extra shine!
