Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. One of a kind, and one of the kindest ladies one could name. She must have found relief in the peace of not suffering any more. She has been missed from our fellowship, and will always be in our memories.

  2. I met Mary Lee at the center where Wanda and she played Chicken Trails. The first day they scared me bad because I thought they were going to fight…no one had told me they were life long friends…acted like this all the time. Oh the memories that were made that day…precious to me. Jesus comfort Ross and Wanda during this hard time…amen.

  3. I am sorry I did not get back in touch with Mary Lee before she passed. I was thinking about going to visit her today and then.found out she had passed. Then I found out be reading online that she had passes on September 12. Sad that I missed seeing her before she passed.Alicia Jeffrey

  4. I only recently learned that Mary Lee had passed away. She attended our annual Black-Odell Family Reunion two years ago, and oh! what a delightful "reunion" for the two of us! Mary Lee was my close neighbor and friend in Hughes Springs. She shared many pictures from our First Methodist Church days, along with precious memories of those times. She was lovely, gracious, and as vivacious as I remembered. Love and prayers are sent to her family. Sherry Marlar

  5. I just learned that Mary Lee had passed! I had written a Christmas card to hand deliver and visit with her to find out that she passed so long ago. Did not see anything in the Waco paper. Know it must have been a rough Christmas for the family. She was always a shining light! Blessed to haver known her.
