We are thinking of all of you with much love.
Len B. and Claire Hudson Gaskins
My sincere sympathy to all of you during this time of darkness. Many fond memories of her during her visits to Ashton Avenue. She is a special lady that touched many during her time with her family and friends. Each of you are lifted in prayer as you celebrate the life of Mrs. McClary.
My thoughts and prayers go out to this wonderful Family. She was a very special lady and she will be missed dearly. She loved everybody like family, gave lots of love, a very Christian Woman!
Billy and Wanda, my heart goes out to you both. I loved Mae Delle like a mother, and she was a mother to me during a time that I needed one the most. My only joy is that she is reunited with “Turkey”, Debbie, and Mary, and Bill. I think of you all very often with the greatest of memories. God’s peace my friends.
Prayers and condolences for the family.
On behalf of the family of French and Hattie Dennis, our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
