Mary was a lovely person who I have known my whole life. I spent many weeks at the farm when I was a child, and Mary and I were very close back in those days. I’m sure she’ll be missed by many. Please accept my condolences.

Ivan, Sharon and Family
So shocked to read of Mary’s passing. I am so glad I had the time to visit with her recently while she was a patient at South Huron Hospital. I will always carry a special place in my heart for Mary, she started as a client of mine but we so become friends, many laughs and stories through all her challenges while still at home. When she moved to Queensway I continued to visit as often as I could and we always would have a laugh. Ivan know she is your shining star and guardian angel.
