There is no punishment or regret that can rectify the great loss of Mary in our community, our friendship and the lives of her family. Ms. Vincent, pray for mercy and be thankful our God is a loving one.

Wow. How can this article be so wrong?? Im reading the truth now in the Olney Gazette and the story couldnt be more wrong. Who wrote this? As an Olney resident I am so saddened to hear that Mary Bradley, and not her husband Ivan, died in the accident. She warmed my heart everytime I saw her in our Giant grocery store. I will miss her dearly.
ReplyDeleteDeborah... from your post it sounds like you rather Mr. Bradley to have passed? I hope you meant you wished that neither Mary or Ivan had to die in that terrible accident? What about the careless driver of other car? She walked away from crash. I've read other comments on other sites that woman has been trouble for many years and the cause of other accidents and citations and not showing up for court in another county a few years ago. She is in jail- but she's alive and will have the chance to be a very old woman.
ReplyDeleteMary sounds like a wonderful person.
