Dear Marcie and Family So very sorry to hear of the unexpected sad news of your mom. Although we had not spoken with Mary for some time we have wonderful memories of her and Bill. Take comfort in knowing she and Bill are reunited. The Pieprzak's

Mary was a wonderful neighbour in Oakridge, growing up and going to school with her children. She and Bill would come over to our house to my parent's get togethers. We reconnected decades later and after, I would call to say hi. My Mother Barb just called her a few months ago and Im so glad that they had a talk. Will miss our talks Mary. Rest peacefully. 💖
