Dear Craig and families.
It was such a shock to hear of Mary's passing. She was such a kind beautiful lady with a quiet demeanor. I still remember her gentle laugh and quiet voice.
I enjoyed my time working with Mary at Port Nelson and strangley, us not living far from each other in the valley.
My condolences to you and your families at this difficult time.

It was with sadness that I learned of the passing of Mary, whom I remember with fondness from our years spent together as 'Boarders' at St Mary's College in Wellington.
Mary was so talented and I have a very clear memory of her excelling in all aspects of school life.
Always humble with a gentle, warm, friendly and giving nature.

My sincere condolences to Craig and to all your Family for your sad loss.

Rest in Perfect Peace Mary.
God Bless.

Warm Regards,
Colleen Sandford (nee Mckenna)
