I was privileged to work with Mary for many years in the Accounting Department at Texas Power and Light Company. She was always a loving and caring person. She was always willing to help others. And to me those are characteristics of a Christian. But my sympathy goes to the family during these times. God bless.

Mary was a good sweet friend and even more than a friend. We worked together at T P & L for many years and became closer friends after her retirement. She had a very giving heart and was a true Christian.I am going to miss her very much but I know I will see her again someday.

Mrs. Vinson has been missed on Margaret St every since she moved to TN. My parents, Flora and Chief Williams thought so much of her. I miss seeing her sweeping the leaves and working in the yard. I am so sorry for your loss.

Gladys lived across the street from us on Margaret in Robinson and we attended Meadowbrook Baptist Church as well. She loved our two daughters, Sara and April McKinney. She was a special friend to our youngest daughter, Sara, from the age of 3-13. Sara would see Gladys outside working in her yard and go across the street to visit with her for a long while. Our family loved Gladys very much. We have since moved and have missed her sweet smile.
