Mary Jane "Patty" Kraft, age 80, passed away Tuesday March 5, 2019. Mary has finally found peace, rest and ever increasing fulfillment in God's presence. Although Alzheimer's may have afflicted her, she still loved Jesus! Hebrews 13:5 says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you!" And Jesus never did.
