My condolences and prayers to all of Mary’s family! Mary was my best friend from first grade and all the way through our years in Bingman Elementary School in Beaumont. We lost touch some time in high school, and I have looked for her in the past few years. I am so sorry she is gone and so sorry that you have lost her. I remember her as a wonderful friend. Blessings to you all.

Mary was my second mom for many years. She was a very kind and caring person. She was a very sweet and giving grandmother to my children Tommy and Christina. We all will miss her very much.
We were very sad to hear Mary had Died. Mary was a good person. Chrystal, Joe, Shawn Tommy & Christina, we are praying for all and want to tell you how sorry we are. May Her Soul Rest In Peace.
Mary was the best sister anyone could have. She was a true lover of people and was loved by anyone she met. She had a rough life but that didn’t get her down. She’ll be missed but I know I’ll see her again. She loved Jesus and was true believer.
Aunt Mary was the living embodiment of grace and concern for others.Thank you to Crystal, Joseph, and Shawn for sharing her with us.

Mary had such a happy nature. She seemed to always have a smile on her face. Our high school days had lots of laughter, and I will miss her at our reunions and class dinners.
So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I went to elementary school with her in China. She was she sweetest person. Prayers for the whole family. RIP Mary.
Prayers for all the Family. Mary was my best friend all thru high school.
My sweet friend I’ve been missing you. I know we’ll meet up again someday. Until then I’ll think of you often with gratefulness. You blessed my life with your presence.
You would be so proud of your children.
My deepest sympathy to your family.
