Mary was a great friend to our family. Our thoughts are with Cindy, Jake, Nancy and all Mary’s grandchildren.
Cindy, Jake, and Nancy hello. I was sorry to learn this morning of Mary’s death. It had been some time since I last saw her — the last time was many years ago, at David and Susan’s wedding — but I have warm memories of her as an amusing raconteur, a gracious hostess, and of course as a wonderful watercolourist. Condolences to you and to your children: I am sure you will all miss her very much. With best wishes, Heather Murray
Dear Cindy,
I was saddened to read of your mother’s death in today’s paper.
My mother was Libby Murray. She was at GrandWood for over 13 years and died 2 years ago. Her final years were made much more pleasant becuase your mother was at her table and became a good friend.
My sister Alison and I were very fond of your mother. Over the past 2 years I have been in to visit her, most recently the day of the family picnic in August.
She will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
With symapathy,
Martha Murray and (for) Alison Talbot
Hi Cindy and Jake
I was sorry to hear of your mother’s death. Mary made Frank’s life so much happier and complete. She created a gracious home for him and he so needed her sociability and her companionship. We are thinking of you today,
Richard and Susan Weatherston
Dear Cindy and Jake,
As a true friend of our parents, Mary was infused into our lives. It’s great to see the second generation keeping up the relationship. You will all miss her. I’m sorry we cannot be there to celebrate her life with you.
Dear Cindy: Mary and I were very old friends. The friendship was sort of a progression. First, she and my sister, Mary were friends. Then Mary went to Normal School and your mom trained with my sister, Rae. Everyone married and scattered, but your parents returned to Dundas and she and I picked up again. I remember babysitting you and changing your diapers! As time went on we laughed about how we kept in touch every 10 years. She did a watercolour of my childhood home and gave it to me as a shower gift before I married. I have been proud to have it hang on my wall since 1937. Recently I put together a booklet of anecdotes and recipes and a copy of that painting is in it. Also on my wall is a watercolour she did of a Kentucky farmhouse which was presented to Bruce and me on our 40th wedding anniversary by our children. I had a brief, pleasant visit with her at the service for Mary Finlayson and I asked her how the two of them had become friends. She told me that it was in grade 9. There was a race of some kind organized and she was absolutely certain that she would win. To her amazement, some girl flashed past her, Mary Gibson, of course. Really, they weren’t competitors; Mary G. was a sprinter and your mom was more of a distance runner. Usually, they either commiserated or congratulated each other. In this sad time,I have many happy memories of your mother. My deep condolences to you and Jake and your family. Warmest Regards, Isobel
