I worked with Ms Mary at the Hospital. She was such a special person. We had moved from Ahoskie many years ago and lost touch. But I have thought of her a lot over the years. She was a special lady. My condolences to the family.

To Dianne, Benji, Shawn, Douglas and the rest of the family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I worked with her in the Radiology Dept . I started in 1976 and am still currently employed in Radiology.

Mrs Mary was very special to me. She was always so jolly and kind to everyone. She would always hum when she was working. All the patients loved it when she came to transport them. She was liked by everyone. I went to her house around Christmastime for several years to take her some Christmas goodies.

I know you will miss her tremendously, but I am sure she is in a better place now, with no suffering or sorrow.

May God bless all of you during this difficult time.

Fondly,

Jewel Johnson

Love
