My sympathy to the Costello family. Mary was such a nice person, it was always nice to have a chat with her
since moving back to Goderich.

Dear Jim and Family,

I hope that your treasured memories of your Mom and Grandma will bring you some comfort at this difficult time. Mary was a wonderful neighbor and a great lady.

We were very saddened to read of your Mom’s passing, thinking of you at this sad time. May you find peace and comfort in the many memories that you have of her.

Dear Una and Jim- I was so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was such a great friend to my mother who loved her dearly. I can recall the many visits across the highway on the golf cart with my mom. I would listen quietly as our moms were deep in conversation over a cup of tea on the screened in porch. I have so many wonderful memories of the many dinners and celebrations our families shared together while growing up. Sending love and prayers from Roanoke, Virginia. Barbara

Dear Una , Jim and families – With sympathy and special thoughts – sincerely – Cecelia and Don Denomme

Jim, Julie Anne, Emma and Ian – We always enjoyed the backyard chats with your Mom, she was a wonderful lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Doug, Ann and Taylor.

I met Mary about 6 years ago, and gave her Reflexology treatments in her home. She was such a wonderful person! Feel privileged to have been able to get to know her. She always sent me home with fresh herbs from her garden spring, summer and fall. We talked about recipes, books, our vacations we had taken, and our families. When my husband and I had our 35th wedding anniversary, she had a bottle of champagne and two glasses for us. She was so thoughtful. She had a fun sense of humour, and was always so pleasant. Rest in peace Mary

Condolences to the Costello family on Mary’s passing.

I worked with Mary at Ormandy Jewellry many years ago. She was a wonderful lady. Taught me a great deal about jewellry. She always had the greatest smile and a warm heart to match it. I often think of her.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere sympathy to all members of the family.

Una & family, so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Know we are thinking of you.

Dear Mary, & to your children.

I wish I had had the opportunity to spend more time with you, Mary, but I moved away so long ago, and never returned until recently. However, I do remember you well from earlier times, as Una’s friend, beginning in our youth. How swiftly those times do pass. I can only imagine how well you lived as Alf’s wife (never a dull moment I am certain), and how proud you were of the son and daughter you raised. You possessed a corollary sharp wit to match that of Alf, and I know how you loved your children. A lady, always.

I missed your Celebration of Life, Mary, as I was overseas, and even now am still catching up with the life I left behind so many years ago in Ontario. But I toast your life, and your loves, and imagine you are watching lovingly over the lives of your family even now, and still laughing heartily at Alf’s sly jokes, somewhere.

To Una: your Mom was perhaps the inspiration for your Dad’s impish & endearing humour, I suspect. Behind every beautiful & crazy man, there is also an amazing woman who loves him endlessly.

With love,
Kate Orland Bere
