We are saddened at the loss of an extraordinary woman whose heart overflowed with love and generosity.Mary was uniquely herself, a lady who had a the strong sense of who she was and who she was not. We all admired and loved her for that. She never 'sweated' the 'small stuff' , and for Mary, family was never small stuff! I will be forever grateful for the many life lessons I learned from her and for modelling to all of us what the true meaning of family was meant to be through her hospitality, and welcoming table and open heart. Mary in her own way was the strong force to be reckoned with, the matriarch that held us all together. And we so loved her. But her greatest gift was to my children, Courtney amd Caitlin. She will always be held in their hearts as the greatest Yiayia that ever lived. May God hold you in her arms of love. And may you be in peace surrounded by the love of your son John and your adoring husband Paul.
