I met Mary late in life but immediately fell in love with her. She was kind and welcoming, with a wonderful sassy side and I will miss visiting with her.
Mary was such a wonderful person – kind, loving, inquisitive and quick witted. I will really miss our weekly calls and loved visiting her when we were in St. John’s. Our deepest condolences go out to her extended family.
