Ed: Thank you Tim for the Reply, Trudy and i Where in MA, west of Boston when we got the message. Yesterday( Friday) we came on up to the Freeport Maine area, and drove on up to South Paris this Morning for the Service, by car.

There where something over 300 people at the Funeral, including her mother and a sister from Texas, along with preachers from the SBC convention of Maine president & the ABC-USA of Main Regional Director, as well as Lay Persons such as Baptist Fellowship of the North East Coordinator, Phyllis Boozer. This was in a church with only five members and 18 Associate members. There where a few other long time friends from more distant places such as ourselves, however most where residents of South Paris community and surrounding area to whom Mary Beth had ministered and individuals with who she had served in a number of local organizations.
