You know what I’m saying. Love you Mary from the bottom of my heart ~ Norma Cadwell
We haved lived next door to Mary for over 25 years. Bud would always watch out for her and she would call us when she had a problem. It could be a bill dispute/Dish Network/Hendricks Power (me) or a yard/house problem (Bud). She loved Jeff Gordon so much when we would buy her a Christmas gift or a birthday gift in February she was so easy to buy for (ANY THING JEFF GORDON) :-). She was at one of our Nascar race day parties and one of our guest was sitting by her and she came up to him and ask ‘where’s’ Jeff, he told he was in the garage getting head lights put on his car, because it was going to be dark before he finished.. Her response was ‘I don’t like you anymore. 🙂 We will so much miss her spunk and just the little lady with a heart. We know we will be back to see her soon. She was right with God. We love you Mary Payne! 🙂
