Dear Pat and Family! I originally met your Mom, Mary, when my mother, Leona Hall, was visiting me in Fort McMurray after the birth of my second child 29 years ago (and the Golden Years Society still had their gatherings at Heritage Park). My Mom was quick to introduce us as Mary had a very special place in her heart. I have so many great memories of your Mom; crossing paths with her after mass at St. Johns, at CWL meetings (she even managed to come to the Provincial Convention held here in Fort McMurray in 2007) and we had breakfast together before her flight back to Edmonton. She was always such a delight, with a great sense of humour, and my Mom would always ask me about her as well when my Mom was still living. I hope they are both sharing a laugh over a cup of tea on the other side of the Pearly Gates. A big hug to you Pat! Sincerely, Susan Konski

Very sorry to read this. Mary lived across the street from my grandmother (Louise Maclean) in KIngston for many, many years. They were great friends and neighbours and I have vivid memories of her when I was young lad. My condolences for your loss.
