    Mary’s Family;
    Please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss of a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and a friend. Mary was a great person. I met her at Curves in Exeter. We had many wonderful conversations about life, families, people we both knew, politics, world situations and so on. Mary had a wonderful outlook on life. I was saddened to hear of her passing. May you have many wonderful memories of this fine person that I had the privilege of getting to know.

    For all of Mary’s loved ones, I am saddened to learn of her passing. She has entered her journey forward and with the Grace of God, free from this life’s burdens. She was a great lady, always enjoyed our visits at least once a year!!

    Carl and family;
    I’m so saddened to hear of Mary’s passing, I have many fond memories of time spent playing cards and just enjoying time together, catching up on family, friends and neighbours . I admired Mary’s approach to life and living; a Christian philosophy but no preaching. She is at peace and pain free. May God bless those left behind to grieve her passing.

    Helen, with blurry eyes
