I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mary. Although I never spent much time with Simon and Mary, what time was spent was remembered in the way that she made everyone feel special. My parents, Tony and Bernice, always enjoyed her company. Losing a loved one is never easy but the memories left behind often bring a smile and a tear. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.
