Dear Bob, Denise, Sydney and David,
John and I extend our heartfelt condolences to you all. My early memories of Mary are of her leadership and guidance at Girl Guides so many years ago. I remember dancing every week to the song “Happy Together” by the Turtles! She loved it and eventually we all did. Thinking of you and sending thoughts, prayers and hugs. Cherish all of the fond memories forever. Love never ends…
