Lived next door to Mary and Louis for a few years in Birds Hill. Will always remember Mary as a beautiful, gentle and caring soul and the one who taught me how to make her fabulous bread. I still can see her pansy flowers peeking through the snow in the front flower bed. She was an avid gardener. Our deepest sympathy to her family. - Posted by: Claudette /Elvio Vido (neighbor) on: Dec 22, 2024
