While we regrettably cannot attend services, we remember Mavis as a wonderful lady. Mavis was fun to be with. Always a great smile and and lots of laughter when we were around her. It's like she brought sunshine wherever she went. The best is let to come as promised to us in John 3:16. She is no longer confines by her suffering over the past few years.
