I wish to express my sympathy to the Ducharme family. Mary was a sweet lady. I am an Age & Opportunity volunteer (since 1983). I was her first "Friendly Visitor" when she lived at 55 Plus Home in Windsor Park. It was walking distance. In 1994 she moved to the far side of the city (Donwood Manor). I couldn't visit as often but made more phone calls. I will miss Mary's smiles and chats. May she rest in Peace. Nedell Michaluk - Posted by: Nedell Michaluk (Friend) on: Dec 19, 2007
