Maria "Mary" Deases Peralez

Our mom, Mary, has earned her passage through the gates of heaven on January 26, 2024. Her fierce faith in God filled her with a heart full of joy and grace. She knew no strangers for she loved unconditionally and wholeheartedly. Her smile was an invitation to all that was good. Her love for life and others illuminated the darkest of spaces. She had a spirit that lifted others to higher places. Knowing her meant loving her. Her happiness was evident as she was always spreading cheer and words of encouragement. Mom enjoyed a good laugh and had a playful character. She sustained beautiful relationships throughout her life because she truly cared about everyone. By God’s grace, she knew real love… she taught it well. She will always be the light in our darkness because we have no doubt she will be in the presence of our mighty God.

"Until tomorrow, keep a smile on your face and joy in your heart. This is blessed Mary on the Jesus Express"
