We all feel so very blessed to have known Mary and to be part of a very special friendship group. Tricia, Margaret & Lyn knew Mary for up to 30 years and later Gloria joined our group. We plotted & planned our trips out over breakfast in a cafe every Wednesday morning. We all remember and thank her for her care of us all in the past, phoning round to gather us all together for a meal out. All of us in distress of some sort being bereaved, divorced, unwell. I called us "Mary's Waifs & Strays. I cannot tell you how much that meant to us all. 16 of us on one occasion. Mary our dear friend, you are very much missed. Loving thoughts to Mike & family.
Tricia, Margaret, Lyn & Gloria

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Mary.
We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
