Sincere condolences to Mac and the entire McFadyen family. Mary will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her and especially all her many barbershop friends. I first met Mary at Petrescue Community Centre when the Mississauga Sweet Adelines Chorus rehearsed there (after Square One) and she befriended me as she did all of us newbies. She and I continued to sing together after our merger with Oshawa and when we became Don Valley Chorus, and then more recently with Golden Horseshoe Chorus. She always welcomed us to her home, especially for 'sewing bees' where she worked her costuming magic was most appreciated - Mac may not have loved all the sequins we usually left behind though! The heavenly chorus will be anxiously awaiting the addition of your lovely Bass voice, Mary - miss you.
