I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Mary Lee Bass The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

My Sincere Condolences go out to the Bass family. I worked with Mary Lee at the Warren County FSA office. Mary Lee would often bring breakfast sausage from the store in Red Oak. Mary Lee was a sweet person who loved herself some NC State anything. I know that she will truly be missed by her family that she loved so dearly.
What a beautiful tribute to this sweet lady. We are so sorry for the loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stump and the entire family. Tim, Kim and Mara Matthews
Stump, I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re in my prayers. I know she will be greatly missed by you and so many others. With sympathy, Moses
Our family are deeply saddened to hear about Mary Lee. If there was ever a person that would light up a room when they came in, Mary Lee was that person with her smile and laugh. Heaven has received a very special person. We will keep the family in our prayers. W. H. & Irene Johnson
We are praying for you in this time of bereavement. We trust God will be very near and comfort you in your hours of sorrow. We are sorry we had other funerals when you had your funeral, but we are definitely remembering you in prayer. If we can ever be of service to you in any way, please don’t hesitate to call upon us. Tommy and Linda Harper
We were so sorry to hear about Mary Lee. We sat beside her and Stump the first year that we had NCSU baseball season tickets in 2014. We always looked forward to seeing them and talking with them at the games that year and in years following even though our seats were in a different place. We didn’t know her outside of that, but know that she was a dear, sweet lady. Our sincere prayers and condolences are with Stump and the rest of their family. Ray & Carolyn Arnold
