Dear Brock Family,
We are sorry to hear of Mary's passing, although we had heard she had not been well for quite some time. So we are happy to know that she is with Our Lord and has been reunited with her beloved husband. Ernie and Mary Brock will always hold a special place in our hearts. Mom worked with Ernie at Amos McDannel for many wonderful years, and I remember as a little girl . . . mom would take Mary to work at Grant's on 30th street. I specifically remember that Mary always gave me lots of attention and would bring me little treats. She was one the sweetest, and kindest people I've ever known. I never saw her without a smile on her face. We send our love, thoughts and prayers to the family, and May God Bless!
