Mary was a wonderful and wise christian aunt who was faithful in all ways to both her family and her God. She was both nonassuming and humble as a person,and every bit a giant in spirit. Her vast knowledge of history, politics and religion were shared lovingly with all who engaged. Mary was a good daughter, wife, mother, sister and aunt to us all, and she's one more adornment for Heaven. Peace be with you Barry in her passing, and may her enormous stregnth overshadow and carry you at this time. Love your cousin Debbie

In this world we live in we meet very few heroes. Sport figures let us down, our friends and sometimes even our family hurt us. One thing is for sure one of my few my HEROES was Aunt Mary Frances Myers. She was a part of my life for over 59 years and our relationship was not just as an Aunt and me as her Nephew, but much deeper than that. We spent many hours together, sharing our faith and our love for Republican politics and God. especially in the latter years. She was bright and ever knowledgable when it came to woorld events. We never argued, but shared what we had learned in the worlds we lived in. She not only reared a son that I love dearly, but her sister and all of their children and husbands too. She honored her Mother who passed away many years ago by taking care of her Faithfully each and every night. She truly lived out the convictions of honoring her father and mother as the book of Corinthianns tells us. November 2nd, 2007 was a very sad day for me as I gave up my Aunt Mary to be with Jesus and my wonderful friend whom I loved so very much. I will miss her immensely but God has a better plan for her in his eternity. She is now with her Mom and Dad, her sister, Betty and her husband Uncle Clyde, her brother, Junior whom she loved so much, and many, many other relatives and friends she made along life's path. Aunt Mary, sleep well in the arms of God till the rest of us cross over to the other side. As for you Barry, God loves you too and it is important for each of us to tell you that we love you and care for you in the passing of your Mother. Your heart is broken and we share in your loss. Keep the faith and remember this quote from Psalm 46, " Be still and know that I am God." Surrender all things to Jesus and he will lead you to eternal peace. Praise God for a family that is rich in Christian heritage and knowing that God takes care of us all, even in our darkest hour.
Conley Grimes, Jean Ann, Darren and Kevin.
P.S. I am so glad that I got to see Aunt Mary on Saturday morning, October 27th. I had prayer with her and told her I would see her in heaven some day. So did our son, Darren and Jean Ann. Never forget the memories as they now become so special. But most of all, remember your Mom's laugh as it will fill the void that is left in your heart this day. I tell you these things for I too have lost a parent. And the Bible says the shortest verse in the Bible is, "Jesus wept." We weep not out of sorrow so much but for the Joy of knowing Mary Frances Grimes Myers and the thousands of people she touched in her lifetime. We weep in her passing, but the tears are filled with JOY. Her Spirit lives on in heaven. God Bless you Aunt Mary, you will never be forgotten, just away.....God Bless You too Barry. I hope to see you soon.
