    Angela, Paul, and Marty,

    TJ and I are very sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Mary Salina Fox. What a wonderful and long life she enjoyed with a delightful family-full of love and devotion. I’m sure this is a difficult time for all of you. At the same time, a celebration of all she meant to you is certainly in order. Grieving the death of a loved one is never easy. It’s easier when the memories are SO terrific! Take care and may God bless. We are thankful to have you as friends.

    Marty & Angela, I’m so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I have thought of her so often, remembering the nice talks we had weekly when she got her hair done. I enjoyed being her hairdresser for several years & loved her dearly. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.

    Marty and Angela,
    So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing, and we are especially sorry we will not be able to attend the service, as we will be out of town.

    Mary was a good friend to all. She was so pleasant.

    We will remember her in our prayers.

    My deepest sympathy for this most difficult time. Please find comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father hears and is listening to your prayers for comfort and truly understands the depth of your grief and loss. “God is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.”—Psalm 34:18, 19. When on earth, Jesus himself cried when he saw the grief that his friends Martha and Mary experienced at the death of their brother, Lazarus. (John 11:35). Their pain moved him to resurrect Lazarus. Everyone was so joyful at having Lazarus back alive with them. Hopefully this example gives you assurance that he will also resurrect your Mother. Jesus talked about this hope in John 5:28, “… all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out.”

    I enjoyed many years working with Mary and found her to be a truly kind lady. I was so proud that she asked me to attend her retirement party, to be among a select few was an honor. I always enjoyed seeing her after retirement, still at Herrin Hospital, she was a comfort for many there. Though this is a difficult time you surely have many wonderful memories of this nice lady.
