It is with great sadness to hear of Mary's passing. I knew Mary and her siblings as a child growing up in Winnipeg. I remember the many happy times visiting back and forth and the delicious Japanese food our moms prepared. My deepest condolences to your family.

I worked with Mary at a downtown law firm. Her office was just around the corner from my work station. Over time we got to know each other, and I was amazed at her knowledge and her ease in handling very complex Wills and Estates files. I got to know her even more, when the firm assigned me to assist her in Wills and Estates. I loved working with Mary, and enjoyed her sense of humor and approach to life, which was honest, straight forward and very down to earth. We had many good laughs and many philosophical conversations over the years. My most heartfelt condolences to Mary's family. - Posted by: Susan Sulivan (nee Guindon) (work associate) on: Dec 02, 2014

I worked with Mary for many years at a downtown law firm. I admired her for her professionalism but quickly learned that she had a great sense of humour which made her very approachable and easy to get along with. I also had the privilege of golfing with her a few times. Those moments are truly memorable for me. My condolences to the family.
