My wife Audrey and I were Superintendents of the Sandes Soldiers' Home on the Palace Barracks, Hollywood during the troubles during the 1970's. We shared the gospel with the many troops stationed with us using the Genesis recording over the fanboy system in the main canteen. Mary's lovely voice was like a fresh cleansing flow to us all when the province was passing through heartache. I have an old cassette recording that "brings back the springtime". Thank God for the gospel!

I played keyboards with Mary for a while and what a lovely lady she was to perform with. I am devastated to learn today of the death of her husband will. What a true gent and one of the nicest men I have ever met.Geat family man and businessman but had time for everyone. My thoughts are with Mary and the family tonight.

I found myself singing her song, "Praise the Lord, hallelu..." this evening after a beautiful thanksgiving service and I decided to look her up in the net because I haven't heard anything of them in years!
I'm glad to find out that she's still alive and well. May God bless her. Her songs were the ones we used to sing in church in the early eighties and into the nineties. They are still powerful even today.

Mary Mckee, my beloved songstress. I am happy to hear that you are still alive and kicking. I can not express the spiritual impact your songs have upon my life (especially your songs in Nashville). When I listen to your songs, I am always transported to realm of glory and get spiritually invigorated. God bless you and all your band members.

Mary and all the former members of the Genesis are still very much alive. They stopped performing and recording many years ago because of family commitments.

Mary's voice music has ministered to me since I was in Belfast in 1979. A dear sister gave her tape and every time I play the music,it is as if I've never heard it before.
Does someone have all her albums?
Mary may the Lord bless you and the genesis boys for ministering to our souls these many years!

Mary and her team are God sent , delivering His message through their songs. u can never be tired of listening to these songs over and over again. Would love to have a compilation of all these songs together in whatever format. God bless her team for their contribution to the Christian faith.
