Dear Westside Gazette Newspaper, family and friends, thank you for your honor and support and for your dedication and commitment. I want to thank Bobby Henry, Sr. for giving me this opportunity to present an icon and a pillar of the community here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Ms. Mary Alice McClendon. I am honored to share what a joy Mary Alice was to the community. Mary has always shared her wisdom, straightforwardness and outspoken words with family members and those who love being in her presence.
