Farewell to the "Queen" with loving sympathy to all her family. Mary was such a fun and beautiful part of our lives many years ago and has remained so special in our visits and memories since we left the Victoria area. She could still make us laugh even when she no longer knew us.

I truly enjoyed being a part of Mary's life, even if it wasn't until the last few years. Her smile was contagious and always brightened my day. I will really miss seeing her beautiful face and sparkling eyes when I walk into Dover House. My thoughts and prayers are with your family!!

I'm saddened to hear the lost of the lovely Mrs. Ohrt. She was such a sweet lady and a customer of Siesta Restaurant and Maggie's Restaurant & Meat Market. I still recall that she would call every Sunday to place her turkey plate with extra cranberry. The last time I saw this remarkable and always well dress, beautiful smiling face is when my mother and she were at the same nursing facility. May she be at peace.

Denyse and Marcie,

The recent passing of your mom has saddened us all. No one can take her place, and only one whom has encountered a similar loss can understand the grief that you are experiencing. Although sympathy is only a small consolation, even from the hearts of so many who share your sorrow, I wish to extend my sincere condolences. There is no question that the world is a better place because of the life that Mary lived, and all the many lives she touched along the way. Helen Keller once said that, “What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. And, all that we love deeply becomes a part of us forever.” I will always remember my lifelong friend. Mary Ohrt; a classy smart dressed lady, a kind generous woman, a true friend, an honorary mother to me.

May the thoughts and memories of your mother along with everyone's prayers become a source of comfort to you, and your entire family.
