Our condolences to your family, and dad. We always appreciated your mothers positive attitude and outlook toward life. She must have been a pleasure, and inspiration for you and, your family. Just one memory is her culinary skills in that she was able to provide home style dining at harvest time, in the field. Definitely second to none. Our thoughts are with you's all at this time. Take care, Eric & Shirley - Posted by: Eric&Shirley Wiebe (Family friend) on: Jan 08, 2019

My parents were very good friends of Cliff and Mary, we grew up as neighbours and they remained friends throughout their lives. Mary always had a wonderful smile and seemed to see the good in everyone. My condolences to her family, she will be missed. - Posted by: Kelly Seward (family friend) on: Jan 06, 2019
