Mary was the best mom. She meant more to me than my own mom. We got real close and I wish it had gotten closer. Love you mom.

I didn't know Mary for very long but I had the honor of being her hair stylist for the past couple of months. She was such a wonderfully nice lady and I will miss our chats. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary's family during this time of great sadness.

I wish I were able to make it to the service but I am unable to due to work constraints. My thoughts are with Mary's family. Mrs. C was my neighbor for the first 21 years of my life and always made me feel like her home was my second home. Thank you for that Mary, and you will never be forgotten.

To me Grandma Mary will always remind me of the sun, because she always liked to shine. I believe that everytime I lift my head to the sky there she'll be shining down a little on all of us filling our hearts with energy again. I believe this because anyone that can live their life day after day with all the stress a day can bring to us and still always have that positive and happiness in their hearts well that's the least they deserve.

Mary and Scotty had one thing alot of people can only hope for and it wasn't a million dollars, a fancy car, or a big house, it came free and only if you wanted it bad enough it was pure and simple "Happiness"

Dear Scottie, Brian, Donald, Douglas, Robert, Sam and Regan,

Please accept this sincere message of condolance for you and your families. It comes from Linda and Gord Allen, Paula Stooshnov, Ed and Diana Stooshnov and Phil Stoshnof and comes easily from the bottom of our hearts. Whether we knew Mary for a lifetime or a short 20 years she was certainly a joy to behold, but more importantly she was always able to take you on a journey into a world filled with kindness, love and a zest for life. Remembering her takes us into a world of cherished memories and happy moments. We will miss her, but will always feel blessed to have had her as a friend and relative.
