Ned,
Although I never met your mother or father, I know you and the type of person that you are. You must get your wonderful spirit from your parents, and I am sorry for your loss. All of your family is in my prayers at this time.

My thoughts and sympathy are with the family of David and Mary Lizotte. It would appear that God's plan was that they be together during life and after. I wish the boys and their relatives strength at this most difficult and sad time.

Sincerely,

Mary was a lovely generous woman who will be missed by her friends everywhere, especially on Rackliff Island. I am so glad to have a special last memory of her from our trip to Criehaven.

It was always great to see Mary when she was here in Maine. She had such an appreciation for beauty in the simplest
of things. Her gardens here were fabulous and I enjoyed her company at the monthly luncheons. She will be missed.

I knew Mary through Norwell recreation exercise classes over the years. She was one of the kindest, caring people I ever met. She truly had a zest for life and I will miss her. My sincere condolences and love to her family.

I knew Mary in l958 when she was a member of the Brockton Ski Club where she decorated the wall of out winter home in Barlett, NH with her art. She had a live, energenic and loving personality, and she will be missed by her family and many close friends.

Mary and I attended "Mass Art" together and kept out friendship over these many years. She was fun-loving and a little zany in college; always colorful in life and so were her paintings. While visiting us in California, she trimmed our ficus trees and they are beautiful today. A very special talented lady. So sorry to hear of her passing.

Dear Mary, Thank you for your kindness and generous spirit. You will be missed. I met Mary in Bible Study earlier this year, she had such wonderful insights to share. I always enjoyed talking with her. She is a beautiful soul. I am so sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.

I first met Mary 30 years ago as a nurse caring for her mom. She and her sister Judy were so loving and supportive of their mom that I have never forgotten. Nine years ago shortly after moving to St George I saw a poster for her art show and we resumed our friendship. She was still the caring, loving person I remembered. One of her beautiful water color sea scapes, in pinks and purples, hangs on the bedroom wall of our granddaughter Violet. I am so sad at her passing. May God continue to bless all of you.

I met Mary last year during our Community Bible Study. She always had such amazing insight into the scripture, and she was always willing to share stories of her life with the group. She was an amazing woman and although she is with God now, she will be sorely missed here on earth.

I met Mary a number of times, through our shared love of gardening. She seemed to be ageless and had such vitality and extraordinary talent- such a nice person! My sincerest condolences to all her family.
