My thoughts to you and yours at this trying time. That wonderful woman was always great to talk to through that window. We had great conversations that lasted what seemed like ages. Alas, I will miss them immensely. With love and kindness. James

While I only knew Mrs. Mary Pridgen for a short amount of time, I loved having conversations with her when I was over. She was very smart and I enjoyed talking with her. I knew her best as Kailey's Caroline Roberts grandmother and I could tell that she loved all of her grandchildren immensly. I remember Kailey telling me about how she made everyone in the room laugh when her family brought little Shelby over and she smiled and yelled, 'Give me that grandbaby!!' I also know that she lived a long life, 92 is an amazing accomplishment. I know that she has left behind a wonderful legacy of children and grandchildren who will continue to honor her with their actions long after her passing. I am honored to have known her for the breif time that I did.
