Mary D. Wages

She was loved by everyone, whoever met her. She always made everyone eat, smile, and laugh that were in her presence. She always wanted her children to love and support each other throughout their journey in life, but she longed to be united with her one and only, Bill Wages. She will always be known as “Ma” to everyone’s heart she touched.
