Thanks for the opportunity to farewell Mary in this way ,We lived by each other. She gave of Herself to Family & others. God bless for always. Margaret Mcinnes…❤️
Rest in peace Mary.
Thinking of you all today sending your dear Mum off. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there in person but will definately be live streaming. She raised good people and I’m sure would be very proud of you all. Now back in the arms of your dad 🙏💞
I was stunned when I heard the news and found it hard to believe we would not cross paths again, unable to say goodbye, unable to tell her how much she enriched my life, although we were often rivals in Toastmasters. She was not always dealt the cards she would have liked, but she just “got on with it.” Bless her soul.
My sympathy to Mary’s family on the loss of a lovely lady. I knew her as a neighbour and friend. She will be missed.
Mary was a lovely friend and fellow Toastmaster, we shared a lot of fun times
Mary has a special place in my heart. Although I did not know her as well as others, she was always genuinely delighted to see and spend time with me at Toastmasters events.
I am grateful for her kindness, encouragement and wisdom. She will be greatly missed and always remembered and warmth and love.
