Mary always had a smile for me. We shared a love for old books. I will miss you, Mary.
My prayers are with you at this time as I know from personal experience that it is not easy to loose your mother, I lost mine in February and it still is hard every day but it does get easier knowing that in a much better place now. God be with you at this time of loss
Mary Dockham was a very sweet and gentle soul. She had problems with health, but that didn’t keep her from calling me to see how I was doing or visiting friends to cheer them up. She loved to read her bible and talk to others about God.I was glad to be her friend and share her thoughts with mine. I will miss her, but I know she is free from pain and in God’s hands.
My sister Mary was the type of person who would go out of her way to do for or help someone else even if she was suffering. She would give her last slice of bread to a hungry person and go hungry herself. Her boys, Matt & Josh were the center of her world. I love and will miss you Mary! My prayers go out to both you boys as you try to get through this difficult time.
Mary was a very giving friend! She was kind, considerate and compassionate. Even though she was ill, she always wanted to hear about what was going on with me and the kids first. I know she isn’t in pain any longer or suffering. We aren’t ever ready to let our loved ones go are we? She was looking forward to so much in this life, but she always knew there was so much more to look forward to when she got to Heaven. Save a place for us up there Mary.
Mary & I met in College. Through ups & downs our friendships stayed strong. Reading the other memories here, I would have to agree she always wanted to know what was going on with you despite what was going on with her. She was a good person who will be missed. I hope Mary that all the pain is gone now. Miss you my friend.
WHEN MARY AND I GREW UP TOGETHER AS COUSIN`S IT WAS ALWAYS FUN WHEN THE FAMILY GET TOGETHER,THEN AS ADULTS, WE SEEMED TO DRIFT APART,BUT NEVER LOST TOUCH,AGAIN I WILL SEE YOU WITH OUR LORD IN CHRIST.MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU ED AND THE BOYS. GOD BLESS TO ALL DENNIS&KATHI CHAPPELL

I never knew Mary very well but she knew my husband Bob that died two years ago the couple of times I met her she was very sweet. She friended me on Facebook and always sent uplifting notes when I put something on there about missing my husband. I hope she has now found peace and comfort.
