Comments: Mary is now at peace. Prayers for family & friends. We are the ones grieving not her.
Comments: Heavenly Father, we Praise You! Thank you Father for taking our dear friend Mary Irene McCord Bach home. I know that she is in Your presence and is free of pain and smiling again. Father, thank you so much for bringing Mary into my personal life and into all the lives of those who ever knew and loved her. I know You have work for her as one of Your musicians whether it be singing, playing or both or teaching the children. Father we do praise you, but we are hurting right now. Please send your comforting love down to all of us who are so very sad and will miss her so very much. Please bless Kari and Kent and all of Mary's family including the 1963 graduating class of South Oak Cliff High School. We love her Father and we will miss her. We are deeply grateful, Father that Mary Kay and Celi were able to travel to Mary's side before she slipped away. Please comfort Peaches as she was unable to go and we know she is heart broken. Bless these ladies and the Maddox family for being there for Mary. Father, I ask all of this in the precious name of Your son Jesus. Amen.
Comments: Thank you, Bob.for getting and posting the information about Mary.
Comments: Folks, I just got off the phone with Kent, Mary Irene's son. I called to get information about Mary's services and Kent asked that I convey the arrangements that he and Kari, Mary's daughter, have finalized to this point. Mary ask that there be no viewing and that her body be cremated. Cashner Funeral Home of Conroe is handling these arrangements. As of now it has not been decided if there will be a burial. Since Mary was so loved and well thought of by so many in the Conroe area and obviously other places, the smaller church she played organ for for so many years is not large enough to hold the anticipated large number of people wanting to honor her. Memorial services for Mary will be held at the First United Methodist Church of Conroe on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27TH at 11 A.M. This was the first date and time available. The church is located at 4308 West Davis in Conroe. The telephone number for the church is 936-756-3395. Kent ask that I post his personal telephone number which is 936-499-9514 if more information is needed by anyone and Kari's telephone number is 281-794-7452
Comments: Mary always loved receiving cards from her friends. She keep them in a basket near her. Now let us all send cards to her family and let them know how much she meant to us individually! I miss her so much but have such treasured memories of life with her and know she is standing in awe of God right now and reunited with her loved ones. What a comforting thoguht!!!!
Comments:  Rest in peace my dear, sweet, talented friend.
Comments: I just received a phone call from Mary Kay and Celi that our beloved friend Mary McCord Bach has passed. As soon as plans are finalized we will post details. Mary is now in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a comforting feeling that is for me to know. She will now know and fullly be surrounded by the wonder and glory of being Face to Face with God. If you have never heard the song "I Can Only Imagine", I encourage you to listen to it and think of Mary and yourself. I picture her now in Heaven breaking out in song worshiping God!!
Comments: Sharon, bless you for thinking of me. I think of you often too. Especially during basketball season! You could always make me smile. I have been in Lubbock for almost five years close to my son and his family and I love it! Much love to everyone.
Comments: Peaches, MaryKay and Celi, please hug Mary for me.....just hug her...I know she won't know it's from me, but I will.
Comments: Wanda, I do not know you but your prayer is beautiful and I could feel the Holy Spirit in your heart. Thank you for sharing with all of us your prayer for these two dear classmates of yours. I do not know Mary but I have known Jerry for several years and he and Pat did such a great job on our reunion videos. Jerry is a very personable man and is the only person from SOC who ever told me he thought I was a good baseball player. How in the world did he remember that I played baseball after 35 years? And Jerry and I share the same birthday, Oct. 26. Praying for you too, Jerry and Mary. God bless you both and your families.
Comments: Thank you Tanya and Wanda, beautiful thoughts. Wanda, you have been on my mind for weeks. It is good to know that you are still keeping up with the site. Hope you are doing great.
Comments: Send cards to UT Southwestern University Hospital - Zale Lipshy
Comments: I posted this in the Prayer Room on Face Book and was asked to also post it here. As we age (and we are aging), we realize that we will lose more of those we shared our growing up years with, our siblings, parents, etc. Members of the 1963 graduating class of South Oak Cliff High School now have two of our dearest friends who are ill. Mary McCord Bach and Jerry Vessels. Heavenly Father, I along with many lift Mary McCord Bach up to you. You above all know how very much Mary has meant to so many in her lifetime. She has fought such a hard battle and she knows as do we that You have been with her throughout her long journey. Father, I ask that as you prepare to bring Mary home (and we all find peace in knowing that she will be coming home to You) please ease her away from us and into your arms on the wings of angels with harps playing. Please tell Mary how very much she is loved and will be missed. We will miss her, but we will never forget her. I ask these things in the name of Your precious son, Jesus. Amen. Mary, I love you and I'll see you on the other side. Heavenly Father, again I along with many lift Jerry Vessels up to you. Father please send down your loving care and help Jerry recover fully from his illness. Father, please give him strength and courage and peace of mind. Bless Pat, his sweet wife and their family during this time of stress. Please make Jerry aware of how much he is loved and how valuable his friendship is to all of us. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen. Jerry and Pat, you are in my heart, my prayers and my memories. I love you both.
Comments: Nice letter..Tanya..Thanks..You're a sweetie..! 
Comments: I see a lot of compassion in this class for the classmates, some who are headed in he downward spiral of life and others hanging in there by their will to survive and doctors trying everything available to help them beat the battles, some very hard to do, but with lots of our love and prayers, volunteers such as MKay and Celi to help sweet Mary, these things mean so very much to the family and the patient involved. We went through this process with Sonny Kemp with Brenda, and it affects you more than you can imagine, but to that individual lying in that bed that can still hear our voice, the pat on the hand, just your presence known eases their passing and for those still fighting the battles to live on a little longer, it gives them strengtb to keep trying. I am so proud of what I see with classmates really coming together to be there for their friends, it surely makes a world of difference. Also, to add another note, Mike Young's granddaughter has some movement in her arms, but none in her legs yet. She is still in Baylor on a ventilator and at 16, she has miles to go before she can be whole again. Kathleen with her health issues. So many of us out there right now within a hands reach, see what you can do, bring by a dish for the family, send a card, just let them know you care. God is hearing the prayers, but its up to all of us to make a difference in their lives if we can.
Comments: Mary has such wonderful SOC friends. I am sure there are more SOCites who live in and around Houston who could also help the family out with her care. I remember when my parents were so ill I was exhausted trying to stay with them 24/7. It is hard for the family to have to do everything without some help and hiring nursing help can be expensive. Mary probably has friends from her church etc... who could help. May God bless her and her SOC friends and family who are trying to do their best to take care of her.
Comments: It was 3 years ago this Friday since I lost Barney to his 8 year fight with cancer..he also had Hospice care..although they are wonderful it is such a difficult time for the friends and family..my prayers are with Mary's family and what wonderful friends she has in Mary Kay..Peaches and Celi for helping the family and being there for Mary..please give her my love.
Comments: Prays go with all of you on your trip to Mary's. Praying for Mary and her family.
Comments:
Comments: Peaches, thank you for the info about Jerry. It is my sincere hope that he recovers completely from this stroke, and that he and Patricia have many more happy years to enjoy their family and friends.
Comments: Jerry Vessels had a stroke on his right side Thursday, 10-4th. He is regaining some movement but still cannot talk. He is saying “YEH” a lot and continues smiling with the Jerry smile that we all know and love. He is being moved today to UT Southwestern University Hospital – Zale Lipshey on Harry Hines. Pat and the family remain very confident and positive. For now, cards would nice to receive. He loves his cards from his SOC friends. When I know the room number I will post. This is serious so please continue to pray for a MIRACLE that he regains full capacity of his right side. Remember with God in control all things are possible we just need to pray collectively!
Comments:
Comments: Please, please 'get those 'Boys' away from Jerry Jones.. He's killing the team..  (why, why, don't we have a 'cowboy smiley' on here..My Yahoo...does..???)
Comments: Sharon, please buy the 'boys from Jerry Jones and fix them.
Comments: In spite of the "Horns" it was a good football weekend. The Carroll Dragons, the Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs all won. Happiness in the Gibbs household.
Comments: Ah, Lynell, if only I did have some pull with the Boys. I would have pulled Romo's butt off that field and sat him and Jason Garrett on the bench for a little refresher course in clock management. Geez, these two can make a grown woman insane! The neon gloves sounds like a good idea also. After watching the Longhorns get the snot kicked out of them on Saturday, I was just not in the mood for stupidity.
Comments: Sharon, please use your pull with the Cowboys to suggest our receivers get Day-Glo gloves like other teams wear. I guess they're called receivers. They're the guys who catch the football. I don't know if it would have helped today, but it seems like fluorescent orange or whatever would be easier for the throwers to spot in a sea of hands. You know how much I know about football but this just seems like common sense.
Comments: Wear Helmets and Armor.... Carry a Sword.... 
Comments: I have a good one. Remember I have never been downtown for Texas and OU rally. My fiance was going to take me, which he did, but he forgot to put gas in the car so we only went 1 block and had to turn around and go home. To this day I've been to a UT/OU rally.
Comments: I went to Cattleman's for dinner with a nice young man named Larry something-or-other when I was about 20. The restaurant was hopping, and neither of us had ever been to such a fancy place. He inadvertently tucked the tablecloth into his waist, and when he stood up you could hear the dishes clattering all the way to the Cotton Bowl. The fellow was mortified, but the dinner was one I'll never forget. We headed for the car and quickly got out of downtown! That was my only Texas-OU night experience down there. |
