Condolences
I will miss you Mary, she worked at my school(Henry Wise Wood) as an ed assisstant.
I have a huge loss in my heart for my dear friend Mary.
I miss you Mary…
Joe, I am also a good childhood friend of Mary’s. I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Mary’s passing. Mary was a special person, so kind and generous,such a good friend and will be truly missed by many people. Even though Mary and I were not in touch in recent years, I often thought of Mary and was always hoping that we would reconnect. All my childhood memories include Mary: birthday parties, including all the good times with our friends while we were at public and high school. My deepest condolences go out to you, your boys, and her mother, Betty and her brother, Jack. This world will not be the same without Mary.
Take care, Marie (Malloy) Simms
Joe We are saddened to hear of Mary’s passing. Mary and I were childhood friends.My Mother Bernice Ross was Mary’s Godmother. I remember Mary as a gentle,kind person with a quiet strength. We only heard recently of her passing and are trying to come to terms with it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys at this time.

Joe -I was away last week or I would have been at your Mary’s life celebration to express my condolences to you. We sometimes know not what life has in store for us, and sometimes the blows are very hard. Our paths have not crossed for some time now, but I do know that with your strength of character and sense of service to others that you will soon be back as close to normal as is possible. Although I did not know your Mary, I’m sure she is telling you this :
“What is death?
It is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other that we are still, Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the way you always used, put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of sadness of sorrow
Laugh as you always did at the jokes we enjoyed together.
Play smile, think of me and pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without a trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
ALL IS WELL.”
Sincerely,
Doug Ramsay

Mary was in my support group with Breast Cancer Supportive Care. She was a bright light and a kind gentle soul. We all loved her dearly. She spoke so passionately about her boys and yes the boys included you Bob. Her vitality for life will be sorely missed by all but her spirit will continue to keep her boys in order I am sure. She would want you to live each moment to the fullest just as she always did. Much love to you all

Mary and I worked together for 4 years at Emily Follensbee School, teaching very complex autistic children from 1999 to 2003. We remained friends ever since, doing hikes in Waterton, Assiniboine, Banff and Kananaskis. She was fun to be around, thoughtful, modest, funny and kind and she will always be one of my best friends!
Dear Joe, Jack and Shea, my heart goes out to all of you. Joe, your memorial was very moving. Mary and I had been friends over 31 years..She was a beautiful person inside and out. Mary loved her family, and wanted the best for all of you. Mary loved the outdoors, she had me join her on several trips..we had many adventures together, and lots of laughs. I will miss her terrible…
Hugs and prayers Joe, Jack and Shea
My deepest sympathy.
Joe….words can not express to you how much sadness we are feeling for you and your sons. We have known you for years – and although we did not know Mary well – we knew you loved her dearly and that you were a great husband and a good father. Stay strong my friend.

Mary was a dear friend over many years. It was about 10 years ago that we did our first hike together to Sentinel Pass to see the larch turn. She was hooked then and there. We did most of the trails in the Rockies since. Energetic – kind – positive – is the way I would describe Mary. A truly
lovely person.
I will miss her – Marilyn
Joe and Family,

Lyne & Family
We, at Sistership Calgary Dragon Boat Association are so saddened to hear the news of Mary’s passing. Mary’s energy, athletisism, and kindness were very evident right from the day she came to us last year. We all looked forward to having her in the boat with us and felt great hope that she would win her battle and return to us and the boat someday. Thank you, Mary, for sharing with us, some of your precious time!
Our deepest sympathies go out to you, Joe, and your sons.
Sincerely
Deidre Palik
on behalf of all the members of Sistership Calgary
