Mary Em requested that her service be from the 1928 edition of the Book Of Common Prayer. As part of it is "Domine regit me" which means - The King of Love, My Shepherd is". Mary was a person that would always evoke a smile; she was so pretty, confident,##imported-begin##Rev. Marv Howland##imported-end##

We will miss Mary's smile and friendship. Living across the street from her in Orange we mostly talked about growing up in old Orange and friends from school. She was a splendid friend and neighbor.##imported-begin##Bob and Donna Peterson##imported-end##

I went to Stephen F. Austin when Miss Wall was there. I wondered where she went after I graduated in 1978. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful lady, coach and friend. She will be missed.##imported-begin##Gina Talbot Gutierrez##imported-end##
