I will always...always remember you Mary. From my childhood days in Kitimat to our most recent conversations on the phone....always such a pleasant wonderful lady with "good things" to say. The parties in Kitimat with you and Philip and Helen and Emil, Mom and Dad...along with a sprinkle of Portugese and Italian friends....memories that I will always cherish. The best memories are of you and Mom usually laughing hysterically at something....i wish i was old enough to join in. Go and rest now my dear friend....and please...please when you meet all of the gang in heaven...greet them with your famous laugh....that radiating laugh that we all remember so fondly. Until we meet again.... God Bless. - Posted by: Linden Johnson (dear friend) on: Mar 22, 2014
