Mary’s Family

I worked with Mary first as a new nurse and we crossed paths many many times in the years following. More recently I would see her when her sister Nora lived at Northdale Manor. She was always very kind and generous soul. I send my heartfelt sympathies to her family.

Adele.
I have so many memories of working with Mary . Such a lady and a wonderful and caring nurse. She taught me much with her gentle and caring manner. I also had the pleasure of seeing both her and Nora at the health unit when they were still travelling to South Africa. Wonderful woman your mother was.

From Dorothy Dodds:
I am so saddened to hear of Mary’s death. She was a valued neighbour and friend. Mary’s concern and thoughtfulness for others was evident in everything she did.

My sincerest condolences go to Adele, and Andy, who is going to miss making his Mom happy with his special meals and help around the house.

Adèle

Your mother has been a wonderful, peaceful person to know. She left me with so much wisdom and hope that her memory, though I had not seen her in years, is never far in my mind and always a source of inner peace that brings a smile each time. She lived a life well lived. I wish at this moment to offer you and your family my heartfelt condolences. What thought at this precise moment brings you to smile when remembering your mom? Mine are plenty and I wish you the same.

Dear Del.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. " Zedotes " was a sweet and caring person and one of my favourite cousins.. I will miss the emails that we used to exchange

I had tried to reach her in the Fall, but without success. Sorry to miss the graveside service for her and Nora and Bill, but it would have been a long trip from Toronto, and I have not been travelling much

I would like to be in touch with you, so please give me an email or ,phone number

warm regards and my sympathy and prayers
