Dear Elaine, Ric and Wayne,
Mom and I are so so sorry for your loss! So many wonderful memories of Belmont and family. Always that wonderful smile and hugs for as long as I can remember. Mom and Mary loved being double cousins and during their last visit they told stories of past years, laughed and cried never letting go of each others hands and hearts. It was a precious memory I will always treasure as I treasure my moments with her. She will be sorely missed but mom and I will always have her in our hearts. God Bless Mary til we meet again!!

25 years ago I had the privilege of becoming part of the extended family of Aunt Mary. From the very first time I met her to her final days she would always greet me with a smile, cup my face in her hands and whisper I love you. I am going to miss her, so to you Rick (Vesna), Wayne (Val) and Elaine (Willard) thank you for sharing your mom with me. She really did leave a legacy and a life that mattered. So sorry for your loss as well as mine.

Ric and Ves, so very sorry for your loss. I could see in Mary's eyes how much she enjoyed having the two of you close by for the past several weeks, so she could spend valued time with you both ( and also order you around. She loved that ). As you know I started visiting your house when I was around 5 or 6 years old, when Mom went to get her hair cut, and since that day Mary has always treated me with such kindness. It is amazing that we have stayed close all these years and it is a privledge to call you friend.
Love
Bill & Ann

So many fond memories of Mary growing up in Belmont and going to her house for hair cuts and perms etc. She always had time for conversation even to us as kids. Later on in years we became neighbours on the same road in Martinon. Whenever I would bump into her if it was on the street or in the mall, Mary always took the time to stop and chat and always had the same smile on her face as we see in this pic. God bless her. May she now rest in peace. Our sincere condolences and prayers to the family for their loss.
