Thank you, Robin, for your kind words about Mary C. We'll all miss her. Karly's video was heartfelt, and represented your family well. Much appreciated. With love, Auntie Maureen
Dearest Gradey, words cannot express the gratitude Eileen and I felt when you juggled your schedule to fly in and say farewell to Mary C. You're wonderful, and we probably don't tell you that enough. With love, Auntie Maureen
My Dearest Mary Catherine, my oldest sister. The Ring Leader, The Big Giant Head, The Teapot Collector, The Daisy Lover. Thank you for the day at the Santa Claus Parade, the Saucy Walker Doll, flying across the continent for my wedding to my wonderful husband, Blair, and all the laughs, all the tears, and all the other important and silly memories since. You've left a big hole in the family lineup. You are already missed. Mary called me her "baby sister". I hated it. I would say "I'm almost 65 years old, I'm nobody's 'baby sister'". I wish I could hear her say it just once more. Rest well, sister dear. With love, Maureen Bryson
Our condolences to the Walsh sisters and their families for their loss. Kathy and John Rifkin Oshawa, ON
Beautiful, Gradey. E
Farewell, Big Giant Head (my term of endearment for you). You "fought the fight" and now it is time to relax with Peter. Will miss your numerous greeting cards, filled with cartoons and "sparkle". I'm sure you will have an enormous and emotional "send off" this afternoon. Love, Blair Salt Spring Island, BC
Auntie Mary was CRAZY? Crazy about love, crazy about life and maybe just a little bit actual crazy as well. How else could you explain her sneaking her 16 year old, car crazy nephew with a brand new drivers license off to the Sea World parking lot to drive her brand new shiny Camaro? Crazy? Maybe. Love? Absolutely! On a trip of many firsts, that is a moment I?ll never forget. Marys sense of humor and quick wit never failed to keep me laughing, whether it was a joke on the phone that was too risqué for my mom, a Far Side cartoon sent in a card just because or a whispered smart aleck comment when I visited her a week before she passed away. She loved to laugh and loved to make people laugh. You couldn?t help but have fun when you were with Auntie Mary. Regardless of what you believe, Mary said she?d see me the next time around, so with that in mind I?d like to think that Auntie Mary and Uncle Peter are back together picking up where they left off. We love you Auntie Mary and we miss you already. Gradey McMahon
Dunno where the Robin went, but that should be Robin J. Wilson.
My Auntie Mary was a piece of work to be sure. She had a razor sharp wit and frequently gave a bit of a devious smile after saying something clever. Clever could have been her middle name. Her interest in my career and my research/writings was always welcome. Auntie Mary was also a very open person, who would welcome anyone with a hug and a kind and heartfelt greeting. My kids loved her (especially Karly, who said, "She was my favourite…"), as did Debbie and I. The world is a less intelligent place without her. Robin.
