Greene, Mary Lewis (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARY LEWIS GREENE Feb. 29, 1940 - June 24, 2004 Who walked
the vale of shadows low? Where sorrows adverse currents flow? To set my flame
of life aglow? Who heard my first wild, plaintive cry? With joy and wonder in
her eye? Who sang my first soft lullaby? When I was ill, while others slept,
Who through the night her vigil kept And o'er my cradle prayed and wept?Who
brought me safe, with prayers and tears? Across the landscape of the years To
summits where the vision clears? Who sacrificed in every way? To make me what
I am today, A debt that I can never pay? Who lingers in my revere? When
memories magic pictures play Across the screen of yesterday? My Mother... We
love you and miss you... Valerie, Chad and Tara And family

outstanding husband, father and grandfather. He was a member of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and had a strong testimony of the gospel.
He served faithfully and well in many callings including Ward Clerk, Sunday
School President, High Priests Group Leader, Counselor in the Bishopric, and
exceptionally faithful Home Teacher. He and Gladys served two full-time
missions for th e Church, one in the Bahamas and the other on Temple Square in

uncanny ability to strike up a relationship with a perfect stranger. Friends
and family were drawn to him by his wonderful sense of humor and distinctive
laugh. However, his most enduring - and endearing - legacy will be his
boundless love for his family. especially his one-and-only, Gladys. He was
singularly devoted to her, and from the day of her passing to the day of his,
the only thing he wanted was to be reunited with her. Although they will miss
him more than words can say, his descendants - so proud and fond of their
grandpa and dad - rejoice that h is wish has come true. Funeral services will
