Mary was a wonderful woman who always brought a smile to my face every time I saw her. Ms Thornton was someone who I knew in our community and as close family friend for most of my life. I will never forget how happy she was the last time I saw her over 3 years ago now when my Daughter Zoe was born and she was so happy.
Del and Del I am so very sorry to hear this news. I am sorry I cannot make it back to show my respects to you two.
My sympathy to your families.

To Mary's loving famlily: We knew Mary as another devoted "hockey mom" when your Del and our Ryan played Chiefs hockey together for so many years. Mary was the biggest fan of all - not just for her own son (who she loved and adored with all her heart), but also of all kids and families on the team. She had a heart of gold, a contagious smile, and the warmest hugs. Our world was a brighter place for having known Mary. Her family was so blessed to have her as a devoted and loving mother, wife and sister. God bless all of you.

When I first met Mary, I saw a joy of life in her eyes. I knew right away I wanted to be her friend. When she spoke of her family, she beamed. Mary, please know your friends truly loved you. And to your family, our deepest sympathy.

Mary was my substitute for my maternity leave when my twins were born in the spring of '07. She always talked with such a smile on her face of being a twin herself, and on any subsequent meetings, she never failed to stop in and ask about how my twins were doing. She was truly a ray of sunshine to be around. She will be greatly missed, but will serve a greater purpose in a higher capacity. Rest-not, Mary, for you have another calling.

Mary has always been a ray of sunshine! Seems like her life was cut short because she always shared kindness wherever she went. We'll miss her - God must have needed another angel in heaven.
