How much can I say..Mary was my landlord when I first moved here in 1986! She was also my mentor at our job with DFS. She was my rock. She was my teacher. She taught me how to interact in this community! She taught me so much I cannot repay! She and Colleen Grahm were my boulders rather than rocks in this town!!

So very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She lived a good life. So happy, though, that she and Reg are finally reunited.
