Aunt Mary was a remarkably loving, interesting, uplifting, intelligent, witty and life-loving woman. As Jim has said, our visits may have been few and far between, but she always made an effort to keep in touch with her many nieces and nephews. She had a gift for listening and for story telling and the most wonderfully dry sense of humour. She has touched so many lives and will be missed but not forgotten by those who knew and loved her.

Aunt Mary's love and caring lives on in our hearts. Her interest and concern for all of us was never in doubt. Her honest advice was delivered with humour and wit as befits a lover of words. May her Spirit continue to light our way.

Sister Mary was my Aunt and older sister of my father, Frank Coderre. Although we spent few and short intervals of time together, she always made me feel I was very special and dear in her life. She possessed a special ability to bring you in, listen, share a laugh (or two) and provide sage advice. Although she had a full and fulfilling life, she gave so much to so many, and will be truly missed.

In loving memory of a wonderful member of our family,

Jim Coderre
