Dear Mary and Family,  I am deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My heart is with you during this time, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bob & family,
   My heartfelt condolence in the loss of Mary.

      Sincerely, 
Leslie Raines Lilly

Uncle Bob, Carolyn and Mary are thoughts and prayers are with you constantly during this heartbreaking but also joyful time that you must say goodbye to Aunt Mary and I know you and all who knew her will miss her terribly until we see her again in Heaven.  I will never forget the love she showed my family and me in the good and bad times and all the prayers she sent our way.  I will always remember her laugh and pretty blue eyes that were so much like grandfathers.  Oh what a celebration they all are having in heaven now.  Can't you just see Uncle Lloyd and dad teasing her once again.  How happy they all are with their reunion and being in the presence of God who has blessed Aunt Mary all through her life with a Great Husband, two wonderful daughters and 4 handsome grandsons.  She was so proud of all of you, she talked about her grandson's with so much love and you could tell she enjoyed them so much.  When you wrote how she was ready to go home to Heaven right now it made me remember grandfather always complaining about why would God take grandmother first and why was he not taking him right now and wondering what was taking so long because he was ready.  I remember Aunt Mary telling us that grandfather was setting up in bed and told her they were coming and was gone that quick.  I wonder if he thought its about time?  It helps me to remember how Dad laid in a coma but when he passed he sat straight up in bed, opened his blue eyes and smiled that sorta of crooked smile and was gone.  Oh, how wonderful and loving our Heavenly Father is to love us so much that when we take our last breath we are in His Presence and our loved ones we leave behind for  a short time are comforted by His Love.  I didn't mean to write a book.

Love you all so much!!!!!!!!!  Bonnie Hall Horgan, Mike, Ben, Jennifer, Ed, Kirsten and many grandchildren.

Bob, Caroline and Kathy, My sympathies for your loss. Your Mother was a sweet, gracious and Godly lady.What must it be like for her at this  very moment. Awesome, to see Jesus face to face. I will miss her phone calls. GOD bless and comfort you richly at this time.

Uncle Bob, Carolyn, Kathy and family: We are praying for you during this time. Aunt Mary Frances was such a godly woman. Her sweet spirit flowed from her. She will truly be missed. It is so good to have the assurance that she is now in the arms of Jesus and that some day we will all be reunited. We love you all so much and will continue to pray for the comfort and peace that only God can give.

Mary Frances was a great, gracious and godly lady. Her partnership with Bob and her parenting of Carolyn and Mary "Kathy" were exceptional. Her love for the Lord Jesus Christ showed in her generosity to others. Many of us have been impacted by her life. Though I have not interacted with her in recent years the positive memories from years ago are bright and warm. I am grateful that God has removed her pain as He called her home to Him. I look forward to the future heavenly family reunion and pray for her family and friends that they will all sense God's sufficient grace, strength and comfort.

So sorry, but I'm glad to know she is now out of pain and we know she is in the arms of Jesus.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Mary Frances will be truly missed by all of us.
