Our dearest neighbor and friend Mary has been an essential part of our lives since we, Ben and Gwen, moved into this neighborhood in January 1975. There is not enough space on this page to express the loss we feel with her passing. She has been a part of our growth as well as that of our son and our 3 grandchildren. We will miss her so much and the many early evening visits with her and Maurice on their patio. The advice on gardening and our knowledge of and love for lemon cucumbers is now a tradition that three generations of the Stokes' will pass on in her memory for life. Mary will forever be among us.
