Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have rewritten this so many times. There is no way of saying everything I want about you. You had such a kind and beautiful soul. You didn't take any bull from anyone. You ruled the roost but you were so kind and so gentle in every way. This still doesn't feel real. Thank you for teaching me so many things and so many life lessons. My favorite memory as a kid was when I ran up to your house and asked what you were doing and I was acting like a smartie you immediately said to me “You are just like your mama” I responded with “We'll I am her daughter”. So many memories that run through my head but that will always be my favorite. I will always cherish the memories I had growing up with you and will always be thankful and blessed you were so kind and such a beautiful friend to my Grammy and my mama!! Till we meet again. Xoxo Livie

Mary, I loved your Mom. She was so funny, loving and kind and will forever be in my heart. My prayers for all. Love you xoxo

A beautiful soul!

Sending much love and sympathy to the entire Shook family.
