July 26, 2013 To the Reed Family: I met Mary at the JRCC when she would sit in "her" chair in the sitting room. I usually had my dog Lucy with me and Mary fell in love with her, as did Lucy with her. Over time I became very close to your mother, she was so sweet. I am going to miss her. But I know there is an angel watching over us by the name of "Froggie". ~ Susan Jones and Lucy (the Yorkie)
Will miss Mary, was a good friend,
We had many talks. Fondly, Pauline
McDowell
~ Pauline McDowell
Well, I know she will be
missed! I worked with Mary in the E R at Riverside.
~ Marilyn Savage, Hampton, Virginia Mike and Warren, We
were so blessed to have Mary in our lives for so long. One of my
first memories of Mary was probably about 40 years ago when she
worked in Transportation with my mom. I remember her waist long hair
and she wore it in a bun. Mary gave me my first real job 33 years
ago. She was a tough supervisor but I soon learned that she was
right about almost everything and loved the ER and the Doctors and
showed the highest level of respect. Of course, she had our respect
too. I loved my visits with her at JRCC. She was sharp as a tack
with her memory and she loved me to come and keep her up to date
with everybody. I will miss Mary so much. She was a huge influence
and I have so much to be grateful for because of her. I know she is
in heaven now with our Lord and her mom and loved ones and friends.
I pray that God will wrap his arms around you during this difficult
time.
Glenna and I were
saddened to learn of the death of your mom. May God give you peace
and comfort in the days to come. ~ Joe and Glenna Carroll
Warren, Annette, and Mike,
Warren, Thommy and I
want you to know
your family is in
our prayers. While
we did not know your
mom, we know some of
her legacy and I'm
sure her greeting
was, "Well done,
good and faithful
servant."
May God be with you during this time. ~ Charles (NNHS 64) Snead, Hendersonville, North Carolina Contact Me

Jerusalem
(And Did Those Feet In Ancient Times)
Words by William Blake (1757-1827)
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
