Dear Sandra and Gerry, My memories of your Mom are many and great. The many visits to your parents home in Carlowrie and the games of cribbage to name a few. The part of our family you all became and all the help and kindness and friendship your Mom extended to Nan and Grandpa and family. "Aunt Mary" will always be remembered fondly by myself and now my family as a special lady with whom we shared a part of life. We look forward to your Maniotba visits and continued friendship. Love, Caroline, Bob, Eric and Devin - Posted by: Caroline Coates (Friend) on: Jan 01, 2005
