To Lena, Albino and the girls. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Mary came into my life circa 1964 when we came to Ontario for the first time. Ever since that time we have had many laughs and love for each other. I will miss Mary but thankful she is not suffering anymore. She has many family and friends that were waiting for her to arrive. She is now with her love ones in heaven. May you rest in 🙏. I miss you deeply
Dear Lena, Al and the girls. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Mary Circa 1964 when my family went to Toronto to meet our cousins. Ever since then we have become very close. I will miss Mary so much but I know she is in a better place without pain. She was a wonderful Mother, grandmother and cousin. No one is better than her.
Dear Frank, Lise and Family

Dear Lena, Albino and Family,
