I was so shocked and grieved to hear of Mrs. Mable’s passing. I LOVED Mrs. Mable. I met her when my mother (Katie Harris) moved to Southern Manor. She sat at the table with Mrs. Mable and always enjoyed her company. I shared some meals with them and Mrs. Mable was so entertaining and full of fun. She was a joy to know. I’m so glad we got to spend some time with her in the last few years.

Ray, Joe and Don,
We are so sorry to hear of Sweet Mabel’s passing! She sure was a bright and shiny Jewel. She was so thoughtful, kind and sweet lady! We are definitely going to miss her. It will take me a few weeks to remember to not send her a bulletin from our church. She was always telling me how much she loved reading what was going on it our church. We always included her in the Christmas party for Bobby’s Sunday School Class. Loved her dearly!
