Dear Richard, Karen and Family of Mary, I had some lovely visits with Mary in her sitting room and on the garden patio on behalf of the people of Trinity United Church. Mary was a gracious woman and we recall when she and Con attended church and wanted her to know that we did not forget her. Together we would say the Lord’s Prayer and I know that the Lord is faithful and true to all of His promises in Jesus Christ and she is with her Lord. Remember with joy the example that she lived and be glad for her life shared with great grand children even.
