Our sincere sympathy to you Bob and the family. It has been a difficult journey the last few years but I remember the happy times and in particular Mary Alice's love of Leonard Cohen. That music played for many hours and we either began to appreciate him to or distance ourselves from her room. Her dancing eyes extended to her love of movement and she was always ready for fun. May she rest in peace.

~ Peggy And Bob MacLeod

Bob, so very sad to hear of Mary Alice's passing. Her KGH classmates were always so impressed by and grateful for how you lovingly cared for her and kept us up to date on her progress . I am wondering if she and Leonard have met up yet.

It is with great sadness that we've learned of Mary Alice's death but we know she is now at peace. We have many great memories of our time spent together in Mexico. Our sincere condolences to Bob and all the family.

~ Linda and Bruce

Our deepest condolences Bob and family. We know that you had a very deep love for your wonderful and beautiful wife, Mary-Alice. I can still see her dancing outside Barlovento's by herself and with others---it was an awe-inspiring sight which will be etched forever in my memory. I also remember fondly our short get-togethers at church each Sunday morning after mass and how you doted on her with such obvious love that it will always be an inspiration to us. May God bless and keep her forever in his warm and loving embrace. He has called her home and I'm sure she has already started a dance club in Heaven!

Mary Alice will be greatly missed. Her life's work in service to others is highly commendable. She was a wonderful parent and grandparent and an outstanding partner for Bob. As her former sister-in-law I knew her as a gracious and caring friend. I will always remember the trip she and Bob made all the way to see me at to my home in Prescott, Arizona. It is with sadness and relief that we must say goodbye - we know she is now at peace. May her family find comfort in the their many memories.
