Words cannot express my sadness to hear that our beloved Mrs. Mary has left us. My heart embraces yours in love at this difficult time.



This lady's most wonderful spirit is so much a part of all I know of The Island; for me, it will never be the same without her!



My prayers are for your comfort and peace, knowing that The Master makes no mistakes.

Tippy, Wilbur and Patty,

Your mother was a second mother and grandmother to all Goldies's children and grandchildren. I know my mother and aunt are just as sadden as you all are. I have so many great memories of Aunt Nean, I really don't know where to start. I do know that she will be sadly missed. I'm glad that I was able to see her in December before leaving home. Sorry, I was unable to come home, but you all are always in my heart.

To The LaRoche and Saunders Family:



Please know that we have you in our prayers. Although this is a very difficult time in your lives, always remember that Our Heavenly Father would not bring you to a situation if He does not intend to bring you through it.



I had the esteemed and delightful pleasure of meeting and working with Mrs. LaRoche at the Johns Island Nutrition Site while employed as the Chief Executive Officer of Sea Island Comprehensive Health Care Corporation for approximately three (3) years. I will remember and cherish her pleasant smile and demeanor as well as her willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to help others.



Her inspiration and encouraging words will always be in my heart.



Be encouraged.



Prayerfully,



The Ravenell's

To the LaRoache Family:

Look towards the hills from whence cometh your help and know that your help cometh from the LORD. Your Mother was a Soldier in the Army of the Lord, and Yes the Circle is broken, but always remember that God will not bring you to it if he can't bring you through it. We are all sadden by the death of Ms. LaRoache and I know my Mother will not be the same since her Church running partner has gone, but we all have to be there and hold up each other. Weeping may endure for a a night, but Joy will come in the morning. Keep the Faith and Remember, The Wesley Family is with you all always. I know she is having a good time meeting and greeting her families that have gone on before her. Be Blessed and keep your hands in Gods hand.
