    This precious woman has earned her reward in Heaven. She was so sweet to me when I’d go home from church to play with Mary Ann. She was a true Southern lady. May you rest in peace. My heart goes out to Mary Ann.

    I was honored to know and love my Uncle James and Aunt Dorothy Eley and to be a recipient of their beautiful Christian example of love and devotion to the Lord and to each other. I appreciate so much the fitting tribute to her memory today.
