To the Family, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the many friends of Mabel. We can all look forward to a world without the pain and suffering of losing a precious life as promised in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 and John 5:21. My deepest sympathy.
Mabel was my cousin and a presence all of my life. She is to be commended for her daily life. Her care of her own children and those from the Union City Library is an example of her caring for others. May she Rest In Peace. She led a Blessed Life.
