Dear Jim and family I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I first met Mary when she was an amazing foster parent to children I worked with. Mary was always to kind caring and just an all around wonderful lady. Cherish the memories as I know there are so many.

I met Mary and Jim when they were fostering as I was the foster care worker for many years. I so enjoyed going out to the farm for my visits as the home was always a kind and care place for children. Mary was always up for a coffee and a laugh

My sympathy to the family. I will always fondly remember the times spent with the family on the farm in North Hatley, Quebec. Mary was a beautiful person inside and out. Gayla Mundy
