To all of you I send my prayers. I know that your dear mother was very devoted to Our Lady and Christmas is a hard time but a good time to know that Mary will indeed sleep in heavenly peace. Mary was always so caring at Edgewater Hospital and saw to it that Tom got his cup of tea. We Ahlfelds will always remember dear Mrs. McD. A special hug to Danny and also to Mary's dear brothers who loved their sister a lot.

I am so sorry to hear that Mary has passed away. I remember the fun times our family had with yours when we were growing up, neighbors on Victoria. She was a great lady, wonderful mother and I am sure a fantastic grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless all of you. Love to all, Alice
