she will be remembered for her great faith in our Lord and Savior and for praying for us on a daily basis. Mary believed in the power of prayer. She had faith that the Lord answered her prayers and followed Jesus as He led her. Though we miss our parents deeply, we know that because we believe in Jesus Christ, we too will join them in future years. Mary is survived by her son, Morrow Whited and wife Robin; grandson, Jay Sutton; and great- grandson, Brenden Sutton all of Fort Worth; her daughter, Lana Marie Paris; her grandson, Dave Paris and wife Megan; and her three great-grandchildren, Evelyn, Waylon and Elaine all of Houston. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Frances Whited of El Paso. We thank the staff and caregivers at Valley Grande Manor, Weslaco, Woodwind Lakes, Houston and Vantage Hospice, Katy Texas for the love and care they gave to our Mother. We will always be grateful for Pastor Steven Parker and Associate Pastors Joe Aguilar, Ray Sanchez and Robin Wiley for their continued prayer, communication and visitation during our mother's illness. And to our lifelong and forever friends, we thank you for your love and support. The Interment of Mary's ashes will be alongside her husband's in the family plots in Durant, Oklahoma. The family is honoring Mary with flowers at First Baptist Church, Weslaco, May 6, 2018.
