Mary will be missed , I remember the time we spent in the main floor dining room and all her concerns and compassion for my mother. She always reminded me that they had the same hairdresser on Portage Avenue and they would get their hair done at the same time. She was a very caring person. I will not be able to attend the funeral on Saturday, but know you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and stay in touch, Wendy and Marge - Posted by: Wendy Templeman (Friend) on: Nov 26, 2015
