Condolence: We are so sorry for the loss of Sis. Mary. She and Bro. John were so good to us when we were first married and living in Porter. We know she is in God's hands- she lived an exemplary faithful Christian life that we always admired her and her husband for. God bless the family through this hard time. Be comforted in knowing she was part of God's family.

Condolence: JOY- feeling the seeds of JOY germinating in the circumstance of grief today!!! Losing a precious mentor throughout my life stuns, saddens, touches, and reminds me!!! So many life lessons from this angel lady....living a life of serving others in spite of a crippling physical condition, always spreading cheerfulness while dealing with great pain, glorifying God/Jesus/Holy Spirit in every situation & relationship, staying connected in encouraging ways with loved family & friends, and lighting up every gathering with Faith, Hope, & Love!! For me personally, I am thankful for her example, teaching, and sharing with me the ministry of visiting the aged and ill!!!! She gifted me with this special passion of hers!! The memories of those years are filling my heart with joyful thanksgiving/thankful joyfulness today!!! The promise of JOY in mourning is being fulfilled in many hearts who love Mary Jane!!! She has been an angel among us!!! So, yes, there are tears of missing her presence here blended with smiles of JOY at her relief, radiance, peace, JOY, fulfilled hope, and LOVE in the presence of the Lord!!!

Condolence: Mary, you and Johnny have been our inspiration ever since you talked to us about Sojourners. Now with our RV we can serve the Lord. Your sweetness and compassion, and big smile we’ll always remember. Now you have a new pain free body as you are welcomed home by our Savior. Looking forward to our grand reunion

Condolence: Aunt Mary, You'll get to celebrate Jesus' Birthday with him in heaven this year! What a glorious day!
We will all miss you until we meet again someday!
Love,
Sherry

Condolence: What a glorious healing and tea party in Heaven! Mary Jane will always be such a beautiful part of my heart and precious memories. Johnny, may you find peace and comfort in knowing how much she loved you and in all you shared for so many years. You are dearly loved by those of us who have shared your memories and have been blessed by your lives. Susan Pruett

Condolence: I will miss our calls and will look forward to reconnecting later. I am praying that your families can be comforted in all this. Johnny I thank you and Mary for giving me the greatest gift that can be given. She is a mother to me and I will miss her less than I should but more than I will understand. I pray that you all keep the memories of her clear in your heads until we see her again

Condolence: She was a very loving and spiritual lady. Her and John was very special to our family. She will be missed. My prayers and thoughts with John and family.
Sincerely,
Rhonda McNeill Grossheim and family

Condolence: I will miss Mrs Townley so much! They, she and Mr. Townley, have been a pivotal part of my spiritual development in my younger years. They have watched over me in my adulthood as well. I know where she is, so it is hard to be sad except that we will miss her presence here. I will keep Mr. Townley in prayer along with her family. In Christ, Suzy
