Mary K. Ford-Hodge

For the children and family of Mary

I only had the pleasure of meeting Mary a few times . Even though the time was short that we spent together it was enough to leave some lasting impressions on me.

Having also lived in a situation at home which required more effort, commitment and determination than the average mother has to deal with....I have nothing but the highest respect for Mary's love for her children and the countless ways she was a living testimony to that love.

I know my father, Daniel Eddy, also has great regard for Mary and was very humbled and proud to be part of re-uniting Mary , his wife Carol and their brother Russ with sister Sharon ... and he was always made to feel welcome and part of the family by Mary.

You fought the good fight Mary, you finished the course... Now in the arms of Jesus ... we rejoice for you in the knowledge you are surrounded by love and will be forevermore.

Thank You for giving to the Lord, so many lives you have changed

Thank You for giving to the Lord, we are so glad you gave.

My Special Aunt Mary 

I will never forget you and

Your wonderful smile,

The way you really listened

When we would talk awhile.                                                

You were the dearest Aunt

Anyone ever had

And though right now

I am feeling so bad,

I rejoice that you are in Heaven. 

Thanking you for the memories

Of past good times in reverie

I will forever keep you here in my heart
