    The memorial service for Mary was very well done and she would have been happy with it all. We had lived next door to Mary for 38years in London and truly are missing her wonderful smile and gentle happy personality. Mary created a wonderful king size quilt for us many years ago and we will cherish it even more now that she is gone. I am happy that we as neighbors had visited for the afternoon with Mary just a few weeks ago.

    Mary always spoke of her wonderful grandchildren, their accomplishments and we were all so proud for her of all their efforts. She will always be known as a very fine lady and neighbor and we know how much you all would have loved her. Our deepest sympathy for your loss. I miss her too.

    Our heartfelt condolences are extended to the family.
    Furthermore, Mary was a dear friend and good neighbour of our late mother (Ellen Brown).
    Growing up, our family always felt welcome in her home; initially on the farm near Crediton and then later in London.
    We have lots of fond memories of her hospitality, kind heart and generous nature.
    John & Robert Brown
