Approximately 50 years ago aunt Mary kick me and cousin Tom off the bus and made us walk home for misbehaving. For the last 40 years we laughed about that bus ejection every time we got together. I will truly miss those laughs, and I will truly miss aunt Mary. When she smiled I smiled.
Neil, Lynn, Ivan and family, so sorry for your loss. Mary was a special lady and loved by many. Our deepest sympathy and hugs to all. Gail (Gray), Randy and family

Losing a mom is so sad. No matter how old you are, or she is. A mom is a mom.
Sincere sympathy to all Mary’s family. We rode the same bus & were in the same classes at Petrolia High school many years ago. Always enjoyed our visits at Munchies or Tim Hortons, but haven’t had those for a while. Remember all your good times together. Marie Sheppard
