Sorry to hear of your mother's passing but it is a blessing to think of her not suffering anymore and is, right now, in the very presence of God.
Wished I had heard in time to attend the funeral since we live in the D.M. area. Pastor Hand sent an update of CBC happenings yesterday, that was the first I had heard. Didn't even realize Wayne has cancer. Will be praying for you all.
Mary was quite a lady! Very fond memories of our many visits together before her memory started slipping. She will be missed.

My Aunt Toots - beautiful red hair, a twinkle in her eye, a
loving heart, and a warm, friendly smile - that's my Aunt Toots.
That's how I remember her, how I want to remember her, and how
I will remember her. She will hold a place in my heart forever.
