The Quebec group - with whom Mary loved to visit, Louise and Georges, Suzanne and the late Elisabeth. Paul, her beau-frere, lives in Quebec City, PQ.

We, anyone who had the fortune to work with Mary at ACH, have many fond memories of her and her "contagious smile and laughter" She was just such a joy to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, her family. She will be sadly missed.

and their families.

Mary was our son Adam's nurse at the Endocrine Clinic at Alberta Children's Hospital for many years. We have many fond memories of her and how important she made Adam feel each time she met him. Adam's success was due to the combined efforts of many at ACH - not the least of which was Mary and her attitude, approach and respect for all. She will be sorely missed by many who loved and knew her - our deepest sympathy to her family.
With sincere appreciation,
Fellows Family - Adam, Debbie and Tom
