Mary Veronica Neilson

This is sad news indeed. I knew Mary when we attended Fredericton High School together in the early to mid-70s and always felt at ease when I had the pleasure and good fortune to share her company during Glee Club productions and social events, just for instance.
Her wisdom and optimism were her calling cards in life, even back then. I am so glad she had such a profound positive impact on so many lives but then, that was Mary Best. My sincerest condolences to the Neilson family.

We knew Mary from MULGRAVE, we volunteered on several occasions together, her beautiful smile, even when walking the sea walk on a rainy day. always full of love & full of life, we will miss you Mary, our condolences to the family, Ounjian Ken & Meline

Dear Lawrence,Andrew and Amy, we were so saddened to hear of Mary's passing. My family have wonderful memerories of her when she was in Steves Mountain visiting her mom. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless ....Cindy & Doug Johnson (Louise's neighbors)

Lawrence, Andrew and Amy, clearly you were deeply blessed with having Mary in your lives for many years and enjoyed all the gifts that she embodied. My heart goes out to you and your family and friends in this very difficult time.

It is always difficult to capture a life in words, but you have done so beautifully in Mary's obituary. We know she touched and had an impact on so many people with her grace and kindness, even over the last several years. We will miss her tremendously and always remember her.
