My sincerest condolences on your loss.
i am a fellow former employee of Westinghouse.
I am reminded of the words in the bible at Psalm 90:10
In themselves the days of our years are seventy years;
And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years,
Yet their insistence is on trouble and hurtful things;
For it must quickly pass by, and away we fly.
Mary was truely a very special person.
Our thoughts are with you at this time of your loss of your dear loved one.
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And cause such pain that can be most difficult to bear.
The Bible Can Bring Comfort when we lose a loved one.
While you are grieving, maybe some of these scriptures will comfort you.
2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
Acts 17:31.
Psalm 119:50, 52, 76.
ȁCThe hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.ȁD—John 5:28, 29.
The Bible holds out a truly comforting hope, the promise of life under very different conditions, under peaceful, righteous conditions.
And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again.
The Wiley family sends our sincere condolences on your loss.

I just want you know that I really miss Mary so much. When I got the room next from her, I thought her talking all night would drive me nuts. But it was just the oposet I thought of her as the rest of the staff. MaMa Mary.
