Mary was and is an angel ! She and Muriel were the grandparents to my children Eric and Elycia that they needed and loved even though they were not related to us at all! I have such fond memories of my time with her and with Murvel! They are the example of paying it forward in life and because of them I have also tried to live that type of a life. The world was just a nicer place to live in because of her generous and loving spirit!

Mary's smile and laugh were infectious. If you were in a bad mood when you arrived, you weren't when you left her. She was a master pancake maker and never disappointed me as a child with her crafty creations. Heck, I still went for pancakes when I was in college!! Mary was an angel on earth and she will be dearly missed. I'm so very thankful that I got the opportunity to reconnect with her in these last 7 months of her life. Thoughts and prayers to Murvel, Mike, Melanie and all of the immediate family she left behind. Life just won't be the same without her.
