Mrs. McMurray will truly be missed. She shared sound advice to me and I’m sure to many others. Sandra I love you. You never left your mom. You gave her her flowers while she lived. I’m sure all of her children did. It’s hard when your mother passes, but they tell me it gets better as time passes. I’m praying for the entire McMurray family. May God Bless you and keep you.

Mrs. Marie was truly a beautiful lady. She worked hard to make Century a better place to live. I pray for peace and comfort for her family and love ones. She will be missed by everyone. To Mrs. Ruby Amerson, maybe we need to make an effort to check on friends and love ones more often. I know I need to. My intentions are there, but I just don’t always follow through, until something like this happens then it’s to late. May God be with her fanily and love ones.
