Chris, Nick, and Jacqui, I know you have fantastic memories of a mother who was ever proud of all of you and enjoyed life till the end. It's a hard time I know but it's a celebration of a full and fulfilling life. Now is the hour. A wonderful woman.

The members of Music Alive (formally Chc Clef Music Club) are very sad to hear of the passing of Mary. She was always a happy face to see in the audience and would let you know of items she enjoyed. The club will miss her very much. We will be thinking of you Maxine & family.

My sympathies on your loss. Chris and Nick - I well remember your mum from our school days - visiting you in Chester Street after school and the holiday we enjoyed at Winchester. Your mum made the greatest raspberry jam.

So sorry for your loss, Jacqui and family. I remember Mary fondly from Dental School days, when I worked on the same site, and of course you, Jacqui from university days.
