I will always remember Mary's passion for gardening. She nurtured the beauty of nature that surrounded her home. As her next door neighbour for several years, i also enjoyed the fruits of Mary's hard work. When she was finished her own gardens, she would always pay a little extra attention to our greenery. She really cared about those around her and wanted to share the beauty. Mary will be missed. Our thoughts, prayers and love to all the family at this very difficult time. Jenn, Darren, James, Jakeb, Sam, Caden and Frances Ann.
