As two of the adults who were privileged to join St. Peter's Catholic Church through RCIA, we are so grateful to have known Mary and realize her beautiful soul. She was present and supportive with many hugs at our confirmation at the Easter Vigil last Saturday. We will always remember her with great love.

We will all miss seeing Mary at the Harris YMCA. She had an inner beauty and a wonderful smile that we will all remember for years to come.

I will always remember Aunt Mary's fabulous sense of humour, her keen mind, and her beautiful spirit. There is comfort that she left us in mid-stride, never having been hobbled by the fetters of old age. We will miss her so very much.
