Mary,
You are gone but not forgotten.
Jay is doing a great job with the kids.

Whenever I read Jay's postings in Facebook I think of Mary and how she would have loved to have been able to share in their activities. There was no one like Mary, she had a big heart and was kind to all. She also had many interesting stories and adventures that I enjoyed hearing about. Rest in Peace Mary.

Mary always introduced me as her adopted daughter and always made me feel as such. Her love, her warmth, and especially her laughter will always be missed but never forgotten.

Joe and Jay. I am so sorry to hear that Mary passes away. I am so glad I got to see her 18 months ago and I enjoyed reminiscing about our times in PEI. I will be thinking about you at this difficult time.

To Joe, Jay and Emily, Franni, Cathy, Stephanie, Danny and Bonnie and families.
Sincere sympathy in the loss of your wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister and aunt.
Mary was so funny with a great sense of humour much like her father. After not seeing her for many years, it was great to connect again last year at Uncle Jimmy's wake.
As kids on the Line Road in PEI, we loved to see that big station wagon come with all those "Yankie"

We are thinking of you all at this time and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
