I have many cherished memories of Mary. We were neighbours as kids. She was just like another big sister.

She was indeed a wonderful woman in so many ways. She cared for my mother fulltime for a number of year. Her soft spoken, gentleness and mischievous smirk described her well. Her heritage was paramount to her, along with passing them along to grandchildren - particulatly doll making. #RIP
