Mary was the mother of my best friend. I knew her a long time, even before I met her in person. Mary Jo and I looked forward to her visits. We always did our favorite things: lunch at D.Z.Aikins, thrift store shopping, and always a breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes at the Original Pancake House here in San Diego. My mother joined us. The two moms had such fun. 
When my mother passed, Mary always signed her letters to me "love, Mother Mary".   A  holiday never went by that I didn't send a card and letter.  She was part of my family. 
Mary was very special, A spiritual, caring and intelligent woman.who lived to the fullest. Lucky me to have known her. 

I met Mary shortly after her stroke.  She was a fighter and a hard worker.  Her daughter,  Mary Jo, kept me updated throughout the years of birthdays and other special events.  I was always touched by the love, care, and attention her children enveloped her with.  God bless you Mary and my His living arms  guide you swiftly home.  Dory💜

I have known Mary from her daughter Mary Jo.   Mary Jo would speak of her mother fondly.  Seeing her mother's photo- the resemblance is there, spirit too. Mary Jo will always have her mother in her heart.

Mary Shepard was an amazing women and even after her passing she was still able to help others. It's amazing to think about how kind and generous she was. She was lucky to have her children and more importantly her family was very lucky to have her, she's so special in many people's lives, and taught of compassion and caring for all. Mary will be greatly missed, she  was a fighter, more will power than she knew what to do with 😆, and the most caring and compassionate woman. It was a pleasure to know her 😁 and her children😄!

Mary was a  beautiful  person  full of life and one heck of a pool player. Smiles and laughter with a big heart. 

Although I never met  Mary, I do know her lovely daughter.  My deepest condolences to all her family. Now I ask our Heavenly Father  to give them peace. Rest In Peace Mary. 🌺🌸💜✝️

Mary was a beautiful person and will truly truly be missed. We will miss spending time with her, her advice, her wisdom and of course her sense of humor.  She loved her family, people, the water, giraffes, sunflowers, and the book of Psalms. She was a true Christian and believer of Christ. We would often pray with Mary and her prayer requests were always the same....pray for Mary Jo, pray for Jerry and their families. Mary we will not say goodbye instead we will say until we meet again and we will always honor your prayer requests.

“remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭1:3 NKJV‬‬

Mary she was the kind of person everyone needed in their lives, i love her like my mother  I will truly miss you  my heart is broken  you 
 will always be in my thoughts and prayers   Rest in peace my friend  i love you
