Mary was a sweet, gentle & feisty lady who will be greatly missed by anyone fortunate enough to have known her. Her tenacity in the face of her illness was truly inspirational, in fact, I never saw Mary frown or fall to self-pity! You fought your battle Mary and now the Lord has given you peace.
George, you and your beautiful family have our deepest sympathy, may your precious memories sustain you all through your grief. Rest in peace Mary.
With much love, Rich, Annie, Tierney & Richard Scott
