    Worked with Mary at London Public Library, and enjoyed her humor, good common sense and “can do” spirit. She was the first person I knew who learned and was able to skilfully use Wordpefect.

    What a beautiful picture of Mary – and that smile! It alone says so much about her. She was always so kind, welcoming, cheerful, generous with her time and talents – just a real delight to be around. I remember sitting beside her for many years in church choir, and witnessing first hand, the joy she took from music, and singing, but also the joy she gave with her voice too.
    To Joe, Glen, Tracy, Andy and all of her Robb siblings and your families – our condolences. May you take comfort in your love for each other, and the wonderful memories she has left all of you with.
    Gerald and Brenda Lenders
