My best memory of Mary was in a kitchen, whenever a family event was occurring, there they were Mary and Anne, always helpful in organizing all the food and cleanup. I loved Mary's sense of humour -- she had a twinkle, and her gentle, kind manner. She was a beautiful person, and surely will be missed by all who knew her. Blessings to her family, peace and love. Sincerely Pearl Newfeld and family. - Posted by: Pearl Newfeld (Sister in law to Anne, Mary's sister) on: Mar 05, 2017
