I enjoyed Mary very much. She always seemed ready to go and do things when ever she could.
Mary lived in our apartment, Jenola Court, for several years. She always had a smile for us, no matter what the problem.
I remember she was pleased whenever she got to spend time with her family. She was delighted with you.
May your memories help you through the difficult days.
Sincerely, Chris Eiseman
