My deepest sympathy to Ron and the family. Mary was a good friend and we worked together at church in North Branch, she was secretary and I was tresurer so we saw each other daily. We will all miss her but I know she is now free from pain and walking in heaven straight and tall with Jesus.
Our deepest sympathy to Ron and family, we have wonderful memories of Mary when we worked together at Our Saviour’s. We will keep you all in our prayers. May God’s Peace be with you. Jill and Ben
