    Susan, John, Peter and families, We were so sad to hear about Mary's passing. She was such a wonderful, caring, and fun living person who loved her family dearly. When Bill taught in Whitbourne Mary and John opened their home to him and welcomed him as one of the family. He has a wealth of stories that he can relate about their time together and the fun they had. May her gentle soul rest in peace with her beloved Cathy and John. Hugs to you all❤️🌷
