The Board and Staff of Open Hearts Community Mission extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Ms. Mary Sue Hodges.
For more than eight years, since the doors of the mission first opened, Ms. Mary Sue faithfully provided two meals each month from her Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. Her generosity was consistent, quiet, and deeply impactful.
Ms. Mary Sue was so special to us and would even drop by to visit at times just to see what we may need. Her steadfast support over the years became a part of the very heartbeat of this mission. Through her kindness and giving spirit, she touched countless lives in ways that will never be forgotten. What a beautiful legacy of love she leaves behind. We will truly miss this ray of sunshine.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with her family and all who loved her.

The Board and Staff of Open Hearts Community Mission extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Mr. Roy Thompson.
During the construction of the mission, when it came time to choose flooring, Ms. Delia Mobley and Rev. Jim Lewis went to Statesboro Floor Covering to look at the options. Ms. Deborah, Roy's wife, told them to wait until Roy arrived. Once he got there, he carefully showed them what he believed would look best. Then Ms. Mobley asked, “But what will be the cost?” Mr. Thompson’s reply was one we will never forget: “Not one red cent. My family and I will be providing the flooring and the labor free of charge.”
Even in recent years, if a child or adult needed a bike, Roy and Deborah made sure they got one.
We remain deeply grateful for the generosity, kindness, and servant’s heart Roy Thompson showed to Open Hearts Community Mission. His gift was far more than flooring. It was an expression of love, compassion, and belief in the work being done here.
We are thankful for the indelible mark that Roy Thompson, along with his wife Deborah, left not only on Open Hearts Community Mission, but on our entire community. His legacy will be remembered with gratitude for years to come.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who loved him.
