So sorry for your loss. All the best to the family. I only met Mary a few times while I was in university with Candis and I remember her as kind and welcoming. A special lady.

The Osbornes were very good friends and neighbours to our family for years and this continued after the family moved elsewhere in London. We children grew up and moved on. Mary’s friendship endured to the deaths of our parents - Bill and Gene Carter. We offer out condolences to Kim, Candis, John and Jane. Sincerely Janice Hess and Scott Carter and families.

Deepest condolences to all of Mary's family and friends, and to her 4 "kids" whom I knew as teens, especially my best friend Candis. Mary's home was one of my second homes during my teens. She was kind, welcoming, and seemed such a strong person. I'm glad for her and her family that she lived a very long life and that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren had the chance to know her. Sending love and long-distance hugs from Allison and Steve.
Our deepest condolences to Mary’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mary will always hold a special place in my heart especially Fridays at 2:30. Rest easy Mary. I’ll miss you. See you later❤️🙏
